"No Country," Small Screen
I popped in the "No Country for Old Men" DVD this evening, both as a refresher and to see how it plays on the small screen. And I have to say, it plays pretty damn well. All of the Coens' films do, actually, and somehow never lose the beauty of Roger Deakins' photography. Some of the shots in the film are so gorgeous, the lighting so specific (the one film mentioned by each of about ten top cinematographers I've been interviewing for an upcoming piece). The film is certainly a marvel of craft, if nothing else.
