In No Country, Javier Bardem Ain’t Playin’
Redefines cinematic villainby j. brotherlove
Without seeing many films this year I declare No Country For Old Men one of 2007’s best. The Coen Brothers amazingly transform Cormac McCarthy’s bestseller into a bloody, intense, violent, and sometimes funny, cinematic experience.
As psychopathic killer Anton Chigurh, Javier Bardem redefines celluloid fear, surpassing Anthony Hopkins’ creepy Dr. Hannibal Lector with a similar flair for clever repartee and unconventional principles. Between No Country and his role in Love In The Time of Cholera expect an Oscar nomination for Javier Bardem.
For the moment at lease, the Coen Brothers can do no wrong. Overall, their work continues to be gloriouly different than the usual movies produced. I mean, there is always a twist with them.
