THE COEN MOVIE MACHINE: “NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN”

Sunday, January 10, 2010

Phnom Penh: On Sunday night (10 Jan 2010), there will be a film called “NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN”. Combining thoughtful eccentricity, wry humor, arch irony, and often brutal violence, the films of the Coen brothers have become synonymous with a style of filmmaking that pays tribute to classic American movie genres – especially “film noir” – while maintaining a firmly postmodern feel. NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (2007, 122mins) has been highly praised by critics. Violence and mayhem ensue after a hunter stumbles upon some dead bodies, a stash of heroin and more than $2 million in cash near the Rio Grande. This supercharged action-thriller with Tommy Lee Jones will take you to the edge of your seat and beyond - right up to its heart-stopping final moment.
