Hadn't seen this in many, many years and it is still a delightful very original film. The complicated plot involving a pregnant sheriff, a botched kidnapping, inept criminals in the deep freeze of North Dakota is fascinating from start to finish. The drama and the comedy work extremely well together due to wonderful writing and an impossible to improve on cast. Frances McDormand's Marge is as original as they come, William Macy's Jerry is as stupid a businessman as you could wish for and Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare's criminals are as ineptly funny as you will ever see. This is prime Coen Brothers material and among their best work. I do believe it has become a classic by now (2022). If it isn't in that category yet, it will be.
