One of the good things about the current situation and the isolation that goes on with it is the great films that are being shown. ITV4 in the UK showed one of the modern day classics recently and it’s only when you see it; after perhaps not having seen it for a while, that you realise just how good it is. The thing about the Coen brothers and the sort of films that they make is that they speak of an America that very few had seen up until then. The film sees amateur kidnappers Carl Showalter, played by Steve Buscemi and Gaear Grimsrud, played by Peter Stormare, leave a trail of dead bodies in their attempts, on their trail is however is police chief Frances McDormand, who despite being heavily pregnant, is dogged in her determination to catch the culprits.
