Fargo - Special Edition


Steve Buscemi, William Macy and Frances McDormand (in her Academy Award-winning role as a pregnant homicide detective) find thievery, treachery and murder out in the frozen upper Midwest in the 1996 film, Fargo. This seemingly straightforward morality tale is laced with wicked humor, and the film's deadpan style mirrors the large, cold, empty spaces of the Minnesota landscape.
