Join us at the Rio Theatre on Friday, July 7  as we raise a glass to the late, great, literary giant Cormac McCarthy with a screening of what is undoubtedly the most widely known cinematic of adaptations of his work, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. The film was a massive critical and audience hit, winning multiple accolades including Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

In 2007, the Coen Brothers (aka Joel and Ethan) took home a veritable booty of Oscar gold for NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, an adaptation that had them spinning Cormac McCarthy’s grim, darkly funny 2005 novel into an often unbearably tense, blood-soaked, highly cinematic modern Western. This story of a Vietnam vet who stumbles upon a drug deal gone horribly awry – dead bodies, $2 million dollars cash, and a hoard of heroin in the empty Texas desert – is bolstered by powerful lead performances from Oscar-winner Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Woody Harrelson, and Tommy Lee Jones.

“Violent, poetic, gripping, thrilling and blackly funny: that’ll be the Coens doing what they do best then. Now with added humanity.” (Empire Magazine)

“The Coens squeeze us without mercy in a vise of tension and suspense, but only to force us to look into an abyss of our own making.” (Rolling Stone Magazine)
