Didya hear the one ‘bout the funny lookin’ fella, the real super lady detective, and the woodchipper?   

It’s called Fargo and, oh jeez, whadya know? It’s playing at the Senate Theater for a 30th anniversary screening!  

Revolving around the bloody consequences of a foolhardy kidnapping scheme, Fargo was a hit with critics and audiences, earning this modest but masterful film a pile of accolades and a lucrative run at the box office. Since its release, the Coen Brothers’ witty neo-noir thriller has evolved from a popular phenomenon to a revered modern classic.   

It's a potent mixture of rich and folksy characterization, memorable quotations, and an unnerving combination of farce and senseless violence—not to mention iconic turns from stars Frances McDormand, William H. Macy, and Steve Buscemi. And in the preceding three decades it has proven to be endlessly rewatchable, a superlative entertainment that nevertheless reveals the bleak but alluring depths of humanity—the primordial corruption that lives within and permeates the vast, metaphysical plains that separate us all.  

It’s a darn tootin’ good movie, dontcha know! 

Parking is available in our gated lot, on Gilbert, and Michigan Avenue
