No Country for Old Men - August 15th

Is this the baddest bad guy in film history? Have the Coen Brothers, in directing Javier Bardem - Oscar winner for Best Actor in a disturbing wig - created a cinematic villain to rival even Robert Mitchum’s 1955 turn in The Night of The Hunter?

No Country for Old Men is Port Fairy Film Society’s August screening this Friday 15th August at 7.30pm.

No Country for Old Men is classic suspenseful cinema with all the elements: a drug deal gone wrong, a suitcase full of cash and a down-on-his-luck nice guy who makes the choice to pick it up and run. Bardem’s Anton Chigurh isn’t pleased with that decision, and it’s on for young and old, as they say.

A stellar cast that includes Tommy Lee-Jones, Woody Harrelson, Josh Brolin and Kelly Macdonald delivers the Coen Brothers their most critically acclaimed film since Fargo. With stunning backdrops and a mood of quiet, slow menace throughout, No Country for Old Men is a violent romp through the American desert and into Mexico. It’s a nasty but thrilling business - think Cape Fear meets The Proposition.

“It's the unexpected nature of the characters and what happens to them that makes this return to form from the Coen Brothers both intriguing and satisfying,” wrote Louise Keller from Urban Cinefile.

“Everything about this film is absolutely wonderful. I mean, it is the most tense thriller,” said Margaret Pomeratz from ABC TV’s At the Movies, where both Margaret and David gave the film five stars.

Screening starts at 7.30pm. Memberships, tea, coffee and lollies are available at the door from 7.15pm
