Big Picture: No Country For Old Men (2007)
For August, if you’ve ever been on a Florida beach on an August afternoon, you know that light and heat can be shockingly scary too. Even dangerous. And because Big Picture likes being contrary, we’ve decided to lead into spooky season this year with a sampler of frightening films that all operate in the sunlight, though each in different ways. There were a dozen more films we could have put together for this month's theme, and we’re excited to talk about those with you too some day. But for now, come sweat it out with Big Picture and Tampa Theatre. Revelation can be fearsome, and fear can reveal.
FILM SYNOPSIS: 2h 2m / R / Crime, Thriller
This month’s Big Picture offering is all about weaving together horror films that take place largely in the sunlight, in the heat. It sure doesn’t get too much sunnier or hotter than West Texas, where No Country for Old Men is set. But we hear the complaints already: it’s not a horror movie, it’s a crime thriller! Your own webpage says so!
Surprise: No Country for Old Men is Halloween. A mysterious man-shaped figure (with an unsettling look) blows into town one day and starts killing. The police can’t stop him; most of them don’t even believe he exists — except for one older authority figure, who somehow senses exactly how terrible things might get. Obsessed with pursuing one person, the monster ends or ruins countless lives in a brutal spree.
