Ep 072 No Country for Old Men (2007) revisited
The 2008 Best Picture Winner warrants another look as Cinema: A to B discusses No Country for Old Men written and directed by Ethan and Joel Coen and based on the novel by Cormac McCarthy. Alec details how the movie shaped his view of the Coen Brothers as filmmakers. Ben revisits a memorable theatrical viewing of the film. The guys discuss the landmark Academy Award winning performance by Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh and how it often overshadows the expert work of the rest of the cast including Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Woody Harrelson, and Kelly MacDonald. Alec and Ben converse on what the Coens do as filmmakers that place them among the all-time greats. The guys also discuss the work of cinematographer Roger Deakins before rounding out the conversation on a philosophical discussion of the film and its unconventional ending.
