Good reviews, and it was a way into the work of novelist Cormac McCarthy, whom it seemed I should read but whom I hadn’t.
Powerful from the first moment and throughout. Bardem’s performance in particular seemed very powerful. The minimal dialogue and minimal use of musical soundtrack combined with the sun-blasted cinematography gave the movie a particularly powerful feel. The screenplay, apparently closely adapted from the novel, was intricate, yet never overly so. I watched it on a friend’s big screen with an excellent sound system so I may have been more dominated by the film than I am when watching on my laptop, my usual mode. What charged movie-making. Score another for the Coen brothers, big time.
