Time to rewatch Fargo: The Coen Brothers’ 1996 gem is now available to stream on Prime Video, Apple TV, Hulu, and Google Play. Set in icy-cold Minnesota, the film is known for its dark humor, unexpected plot twists, unforgettable characters, and most importantly, the accent. ICYMI, the plot follows Jerry (William H. Macy), a Minnesotan car salesman drowning in debt. However, Jerry has a cunning plan — he hires two thugs to kidnap his wife in the hopes that his wealthy father-in-law will pay the hefty ransom — a technically harmless scheme if you disregard his wife’s psychological well-being. Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned and Police Chief Marge (Frances McDormand) will stop at nothing to catch the wrongdoers. In a blizzard of drama and comedy, the Coens show their strength in balancing the macabre with moments of genuine warmth and humanity, and flex their cinematography skills in showcasing the beauty of wintry Minnesota against the backdrop of crime and mystery. Its intricate plot, unforgettable characters, and impeccable direction is what makes Fargo rewatchable 27 years after its release.
