***WINNER** – Best Actress (Frances McDormand) and Best Original Sceenplay (Joel and Ethan Coen) – 1997 Academy Awards®
Jerry Lundegaard (Oscar®-nominee William H. Macy) works in his father-in-law’s car dealership and has gotten himself in financial problems. He tries various schemes to come up with money needed for a reason that is never really explained. It has to be assumed that his huge embezzlement of money from the dealership is about to be discovered by father-in-law. When all else falls through, plans he set in motion earlier for two men to kidnap his wife for ransom to be paid by her wealthy father (who doesn’t seem to have the time of day for son-in-law). From the moment of the kidnapping, things go wrong and what was supposed to be a non-violent affair turns bloody with more blood added by the minute. Jerry is upset at the bloodshed, which turns loose a pregnant sheriff (Frances McDormand) from Brainerd, MN who is tenacious in attempting to solve the three murders in her jurisdiction.
1996, 98 minutes, USA, Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, Rated R

“Rotates its story through satire, comedy, suspense and violence, until it emerges as one of the best films I've ever seen.”
– Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES -
“It's a miracle: A tough, honest, bloody film set so far from the bright lights it feels as if it's on a different planet, yet knowable and absolutely compelling from start to finish.”
– Ann Hornaday, BALTIMORE SUN -
“Lean, mean and mordant black comedy.”
– Mike Clark, USA TODAY
