    I lived in Fargo when I was a kid. This movie was spot on! The people there really talk like the characters (“Yah, you betcha!” “Uffda!”), the landscape, for the most part, really is a flat, barren wide-open space, it’s like “American Siberia” in the winter, everyone is Norwegian and they all really do have last names like Gustafson, Gunderson, and Lundegaard. Watching this movie, was like going back in time for me. All the details, right down to the split-level architecture of the houses up there, was so accurate. It’s probably the most bizarre place I’ve ever lived, but I have some very fond memories of Fargo.

      He created a great format and then did his best to undermine it. There's one part where McDormand is about to say something insightful about why the film captured the public, but Charlie tries to complete the answer for her. Just stop talking, man. There's a reason why you invited these people to your set. Let them talk. Larry King is still the "king" when it comes to pointed questions and lots of listening.

      They did discuss the ups and downs of box office success, and Rose even joked about if they could cope with having to make a pure $$-maker movie and put their "art" on hold in order to make the studio an extra $100 million etc. So I think Rose was basically wishing them good luck with the ongoing income stream from Fargo that was going to continue after the Charlie Rose interview with video release and any other spinoffs, royalties, etc. It's not just all about only the first weekend of box office revenue.

      Lefse, Lutefisk, flatbread, herring and all the other delicious treats. We go through much work and expense to obtain these products as we now live in Ohio, USA (yuck) because of work. We still visit our family up north and have visited Norway a few times over the years. Our extended family there insist that we stay in their homes and then treat us like royalty. Wonderful people.

      It’s also the mark of a great director, because the director is behind the camera. It’s all about the actors. They’re the ones making the director look good. This is something Tarantino misunderstood later in his career. Django on, he was forcing the audience to play his stupid game of “catch my reference” and “look at this Tarantino-ism.”

    Well, the interview was enjoyable despite Charlie Rose, who from what I've seen never seems to prepare well for his interviews, but who nonetheless wants to pass himself off as the urbane sophisticate. (Ugh, these stupid questions, like "if you had to make a big blockbuster movie" -- what an utterly inane conversational gambit. Just so random and unengaged, so ungrounded in the moment.) But all three rolled with it well: down-to-earth, straightforward, likeable, intelligent.

      I never saw Rose "cut off" McDormand. You must remember, being a good interviewer is a little like being the director of a Three Ring circus. You must highlight the central characters (the Coen Brothers) and involve the secondary guests too, but always, ALWAYS concentrate on the core subjects. If you noticed by Frances' delighted expression, she seemed just thrilled to be on the same dais with these two directors.

    Joel & Ethan did step out, so to speak, with Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers remake, the rough equivalent of what Hollywood used to call 'programmers'. They're considered two of the Coens' weaker films, although they did make enough money to bankroll the next few 'true' Coen brothers movies, which I think was the plan all along. If the media of the time is to be believed, they had troubles raising money for an adaptation of To The White Sea, with Brad Pitt attached and working for scale.
