  • No Country for Old Men (2007)
    No Country for Old Men (2007) “I got it under control.” Major Credits: Director: Joel & Ethan Coen Screenplay: Joel & Ethan Coean; adapted from the novel by Cormac McCarthy Cinematography: Roger Deakins Editing: Roderick Jaynes (pseudonym for Joel & Ethan Coen) Cast: Tommy Lee Jones (Sheriff Ed Tom Bell), Javier Bardem (Anton Chigurh), Josh Brolin (Llewelyn Moss, Woody Harrelson (Carson Wells), Kelly Macdonald (Carla Jean Moss) Background: No Country for Old Men marks a return to the regionally inflected, ultra-violent crime dramas that made the Coen brothers icons of independent filmmaking with Blood Simple (1984), Miller’s Crossing (1990), and the Oscar-winning Fargo (1996). Critical praise for the film was nearly unanimous, with reviewers praising the taut storytelling, creepy suspense, dark wit, memorable dialogue (much of which is quoted verbatim from McCarthy’s novel), and compelling performances. The overall feeling of the film vacillates between recognizable movie genres—the Western (Sheriff Bell seems to have stepped out of High Noon; Anton Chigurh is the most implacable villain since Hannibal Lechter in The Silence of the Lambs), the crime thriller (the plot may remind some of A Simple Plan, the suitcase full of money recalls Pulp Fiction)—and classical epic, with Bell playing the Chorus and Chigurh The Furies. The indeterminate ending, which mystifies or infuriates many viewers (and faithfully follows the novel), suggests the shaggy dog tale quality of the Coen brothers’ own The Big Lebowski (!998). Cinematic Qualities: My own term for the film’s style is “Tex-Mex Film Noir.” Beginning with Sheriff Ed Tom Bell’s opening voiceover (“I don’t know what to make of that.”) and the silence of the arid, threatening landscape Llewelyn surveys, the Coens sustain an ominous vision of a world beyond human comprehension or control.
