No Country for Old Men (2007, dir. Joel & Ethan Coen)
The Coen Brothers’ Academy Award–winning adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel stands as one of the most unsettling American films of the 21st century. Set against the bleak landscapes of West Texas, No Country for Old Men follows intersecting lives pulled into a spiral of violence after a drug deal goes wrong, along with the unstoppable force that follows in its wake.
Anchored by Javier Bardem’s chilling portrayal of Anton Chigurh, the film explores fate, chance, and moral erosion with an almost mythic inevitability. Sparse dialogue, oppressive silence, and sudden brutality create an atmosphere of constant dread. Sheriff Ed Tom Bell’s weary reflections frame the film as a lament for a world that no longer makes sense to those who once believed they understood it. Grim, precise, and hauntingly modern, No Country for Old Men demands the focus and scale of a theatrical viewing.
Doors open at 6:30PM
$5 at the door.
