No Country For Old Men

Jarvier Bardem has just won the Oscar for best supporting actor for his portrayal of an unspeakably evil man in this, the best Coen Brothers movie to date. The movie has also won Best Picture and the Coen Brothers took Best Director, all of which is well deserved. This is an enormously tense thriller. Its impossible to look away. The cinematography is beautiful, the suspense builds to almost unbearable peaks, the dialogue is utterly convincing, the characters fascinating. Whilst undeniably bleak, from a film-making perspective, there is very little not to like. It’s a powerful film – you cannot fail to be moved by it.
