Event Description
Ojai Film Society is screening the movie No Country for Old Men.
Ethan and Joel Coen’s dark and quirky contemplation of the rising tide of violence in America is.
Adapted faithfully from the 2005 novel by Cormac McCarthy, the film takes place in a small Texas border town in 1980. Sheriff Bell has ruled the land for years without the use of a gun, but a new brand of reckless lawlessness has taken over his town.
Llewelyn Moss is an innocent Everyman with a devoted wife, Carla, but when he stumbles across a drug deal gone deadly and finds two million dollars, he’s determined to keep it for himself. There’s only one problem. He’s being pursued by one of the most amoral, evil psychopaths that the big screen has ever seen. Wearing an absurd haircut and brandishing a pressurized weapon that’s used to murder cattle, Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) creeps forward on his mission to track Moss down and return the money to its rightful owners to save his own skin.
As the tension mounts, the body count begins to rise, confirming Sheriff Bell’s inability to battle this new wave of modern brutality.
