I don't even know how to express, fully, my overwhelming love for this movie. It's the only movie that has instantly become my favourite movie after just one viewing. Others that have enjoyed a brief stay at the top of my list have only managed to do so after three or four studied viewings. But Fargo leaped right in at the number one slot just as soon as the credits finished rolling. This is a flawless film. The dialogue is outstanding, staying just the right side of quirky colloquialism with out sounding too cornball. The performances are perfect (How William H. Macy was beaten into second place by Cuba Gooding for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar is incomprehensible!!). The scenery and cinematography are a joy to behold. And the story is one of the most inventive I've come across. I can't recommend this movie highly enough. If you haven't already seen it, GO NOW!! Hightail it to your local video store and get it immediately. Call in sick to work if you have to, but don't waste another second before seeing this masterpiece.
