Everybody in America, it seems, is reading Cormac McCarthy's
THE ROAD. And now the Coen Brothers' adaptation of his
neo-noir thriller NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN has, by all
accounts, electrified the Cannes Film Festival.Variety's Todd
McCarthy calls it "(a) scorching blast of tense genre
filmmaking shot through with rich veins of melancholy,
down-home philosophy and dark, dark humor ... a bloody
classic of its type."Todd McCarthys' full review can be found
