No Country for Old Men — 4K 12/21/24

The Coen brothers’ modern classic adapts Cormac McCarthy’s book about drug violence on the border. Welcome to supply & demand economics at its most basic: human values are absent in a bloody scramble for a cache of drug money. Tommy Lee Jones is the old lawman with a defeatist outlook and Josh Brolin is a daring Texan who gets more danger than he bargains for. Javier Bardem won the prize for the most original movie villain since Anthony Hopkins’ Hannibal Lecter. The violent thrills subvert audience expectations — and remain true to McCarthy’s nihilistic vision. On 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection.
