A homespun murder story.
Il riassunto Jerry, a small-town Minnesota car salesman is bursting at the seams with debt… but he’s got a plan. He’s going to hire two thugs to kidnap his wife in a scheme to collect a hefty ransom from his wealthy father-in-law. It’s going to be a snap and nobody’s going to get hurt… until people start dying. Enter Police Chief Marge, a coffee-drinking, parka-wearing - and extremely pregnant - investigator who’ll stop at nothing to get her man. And if you think her small-time investigative skills will give the crooks a run for their ransom… you betcha! Imdb
Il commento Forse il film più coeaniano dei Coen, in cui la tripartizione del mondo in buoni, cattivi e imbecilli è più chiara e in cui l’agente del Caos scatena di tutto. Incredibile fotografia degli spazi bianchi del Nord Dakota, Frances McDormand incinta più deliziosa che mai. Un film pressoché perfetto.
