BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Coens’ No Country sweeps Oscars
No Country For Old Men has won four Oscars, including best film and best director, a category awarded jointly to brothers Joel and Ethan Coen.
Its my favourite film of the year, and for once, i wholeheartedly agree with this year’s pick for Best Picture. Here is a link to my review of No Country for Old Men. However, as much as i think No Country is brilliant, i must add a caution to the average moviegoer who watches it simply because it won Best Picture. You will probably be bored. If you are not used to watching arthouse films, you will probably be alienated by this movie. This is a movie for those who appreciate the art of filmmaking. Casual viewers are probably going to enjoy Juno more. But, if you want to take a plunge into the arthouse arena, and want to take a chance and have the patience to sit this through, you will be rewarded with a modern masterpiece.
