FARGO took noir to a place no one had dared take it before — North Dakota. When hapless car salesman Jerry Lundergaard (William H. Macy) needs cash fast, he very rationally hires two thugs, Carl and Gaear (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife and hold her hostage until her wealthy father pays the ransom… but, naturally, murder, misanthropy, and creative use of wood chippers ensue. With Frances McDormand as the pregnant sheriff and the Midwest itself as the iciest and most banal of hells.
