Review

the commentary on this one is thin. it’s done by the director of photography who has worked with the coen brothers before so you get a sort of comparative look at the cinematography for fargo. unfortunately he doesn’t talk very much, it would have been nice to have a film scholar fill in some of the blank spots. give me a few hundred bucks and i’d find some good stuff to talk about. the film itself is great, of course, and still stands as my favorite coen brothers film, but probably isn’t their best. just like strangers on a train is my favorite hitchcock, but vertigo is his best.
