John Badham on NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (Trailer Commentary)
1 view • Jan 19, 2023
Javier Bardem enters the pantheon of formidable movie monsters as the implacable killing machine on the prowl for his $2 million. Not since Robert Mitchum in Night of the Hunter has an actor made evil so unsettling. Widely acclaimed as one of the most accomplished films of its era; nonetheless, some audiences found it impenetrable. The Coen Bros. take liberties with Cormac McCarthy's novel, particularly at the end, but their Oscar-winner found broad acceptance despite its pervasive air of bleak tragedy.
