Fargo (1996) | 30th Anniversary Screening

Dir. Joel Cohen | USA | 1h 38m | Comedy, Crime, Drama and Thriller

A lot can happen in the middle of nowhere.

The Coen brothers’ darkly comic crime classic takes us to the snow-covered landscapes of Minnesota, where a desperate car salesman hatches a seemingly simple plan to solve his financial troubles: have his wife kidnapped and collect the ransom from her wealthy father.

But when the plan goes horribly wrong, a trail of violence leads to the unflappable and very pregnant Police Chief Marge Gunderson, whose quiet determination and sharp instincts bring her ever closer to the truth.

Blending pitch-black humour, suspense and unforgettable characters, Fargo is a brilliantly offbeat portrait of ordinary people making extraordinarily bad decisions.

Winner of two Academy Awards, including Best Actress for Frances McDormand, Fargo remains one of the Coen brothers’ most celebrated films.
