A 25th anniversary edition of the superb Coen brothers film Fargo is set to be released in cinemas this month to support the re-opening of cinemas. Park Circus announced the news on Wednesday. The Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) 1996 classic will screen in 4K across the UK and selected international territories as cinemas safely reopen.
Celebrated as a darkly comic twist on the thriller genre, Fargo is also a film of great visual beauty, with cinematography by regular Coen Brothers collaborator, Roger Deakins. When a hapless husband finds himself in insurmountable debt, a series of absurdities embroils him with two inept crooks. Their crimes fall under the jurisdiction of a heavily pregnant rural Minnesota police chief, Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand), who makes no small effort to solve the case.
Mark Hirzberger-Taylor, CEO of Park Circus said: “We are so proud to once more play our part – standing firmly alongside our studio partners – in helping cinemas to welcome people safely back, indoors and outdoors, just as soon as it is safe to do so. We believe the opportunity to experience these classic stories from across the decades on the big screen will play a vital role in breathing new life into our beloved cinemas.”
The film will return to cinemas on 11th June.
There’s a new trailer to support the release. See below.
