Fargo is a truly multi-layered film. Sometimes a comedy (or a black comedy, there are some hilarious murder scenes), sometimes a drama. I loved the portrayal of the Midwestern naivete. You become annoyed by all these people who don't understand the importance or the situations they face and stick to their superficial lives, but in the end you wonder if it is us who get it the wrong way. That's the main question, put brilliantly in this film. Excellent casting and acting and a lesson in directing from the Coen brothers.
