As part of their monthly film and discussion series, Cinema Verite presents the Coen brothers at their best.
A man deeply in debt hires two inept crooks to kidnap his wife and split the ransom money. The deal goes bad when the crooks kill a highway patrolman and 2 hapless bystanders, and the murders fall under the jurisdiction of a pregnant but persistent Minnesota police chief.
Following the film a discussion of the film's themes will be held inside the theater.
