Fargo (1996) was the 'snow film' that immediately came to mind when I wanted a snow related instafilm shot. The snow in Fargo not only dominates the film visualy (with the usual brilliant cinematography from Roger Deakins) but acts as a metaphor both for the bleakness and simplicity of Minnesota life and for the films storyline of things hidden and revealed. The snow ultimately reveals more than it hides. Money is buried in it and blizzards hide everything - but cars and people stand out in a white landscape, and blood stands out most of all. Similarly all is revealed in the plot as our not-so-simple cop heroine (Frances Mcdormand) discovers all, and our sadly all-too-simple criminal (William H Macy) has nowhere to hide. It's a great film and probably my favourite by the Coen's - is it one of your? . . . . . . . #fargo #fargo1996 #fargomovie #fargofilm #coenbrothers #ethancoen #joelcoen #joelcoenandethancoen #instafilm #instamovie #williamhmacy #francesmcdormand #snow #blizzard #rogerdeakins #cinematography #rogerdeakinscinematography #minesota https://www.instagram.com/p/CKlKb5JlUg9/?utm_medium=tumblr
