No Country For Old Men Anticipation

Having viewed the recently released trailer, I’m anticipating the Coen Brothers’ newest, No Country For Old Men. After years of lighthearted goofiness, Old Men suggests the second coming of Fargo, which does feature goofy moments yet remains bleached by dread, murder and desperation. It’s based of the book of the same name by Cormac McCarthy and I was amused to come across a line from Jeffrey Lent’s review in The Washington Post a few years ago that, “His descriptive passages are lucid and visual—this novel needs no film adaptation.” Tough luck, Jeffrey. If anyone can pull off lucid and visual, it’s the Coen Bros.
