The Beverly Theater brings the Coen Brothers' darkly comedic masterpiece to the screen in downtown Las Vegas's Arts District. "Fargo" is that rare film that manages to be simultaneously brutal and hilarious, following a hapless car salesman's kidnapping scheme gone catastrophically wrong in the snow-covered landscapes of Minnesota. The film's mix of folksy charm and sudden violence, paired with Frances McDormand's Oscar-winning performance as the pregnant police chief Marge Gunderson, has made it a cult classic that rewards multiple viewings.
The intimate 150-seat theater provides an ideal setting to experience the Coens' meticulous cinematography and darkly absurdist vision. The Beverly's excellent acoustics will highlight Carter Burwell's haunting score, while the venue's sophisticated atmosphere complements the film's art-house credentials. Whether you're revisiting this 1996 classic or discovering it for the first time, the theater's curated film programming offers a welcome alternative to typical multiplex fare.
