FILM and TALK: No Country for Old Men

Tuesday May 10th at 7pm:

No Country for Old Men,  by the Coen brothers, USA 2007

introduction by David and talk afterwards.

The Coens’ trademark wit is still evident, though more retrained than it has been, smothered by a tense atmosphere of gathering doom. There’s nothing stunted here other than the sparse vegetation in the parched Texas landscape.”
