No Country for Old Men

Bust out your air guns and lucky quarters, it’s finally time to talk about arguably the most celebrated and beloved Coen brothers film, No Country for Old Men. Based off of the 2005 Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name, this film is a wonderful example of how adaptation can be an additive process instead of simply reductive. We get into the comparisons between the two works of art, along with plenty of tangents about why 2007 was an amazing year for film, the peak ways of viewing this movie, our own semi-forgettable first-time watching experiences, Ed’s grandiose soliloquies, Kelly Macdonald’s underrated performance, and of course, the hair.
