The new Coen Brothers flick is the toast of Cannes this year. They've got stiff competition if they want another Palm D'or, though. Zodiac, We Own the Night, Death Proof, Paranoid Park and (my pick for winner) Wong Kar Wai's My Blueberry Nights are also in competition.
This movie is the Coen's first adaptation -- from the novel by Cormac McCarthy. Tonally, it appears to sit close to their debut Blood Simple. Though it was more broad, I'd probably lump Fargo in with that group as well. A French film site has posted five clips from the movie. You'll see Josh Brolin (the older brother from The Goonies, and recently Grindhouse), Javier Bardem (The Sea Inside, Before Night Falls) and Tommy Lee Jones (who is long overdue for some decent roles). Some are calling Bardem's sadistic killer in this flick one of the most menacing in ages.
Five clips.
