book and film discussion: No Country for Old Men
Details
No Country for Old Men (2007, directors the Coen brothers) and No Country for Old Men (2005, author Cormac McCarthy)
We'll be discussing both the film and the book.
Writer Cormac McCarthy has been heralded by literary critic Harald Bloom as an American author whose works will enter the Western literary canon. Let's find out whether we agree! He originally wrote No Country for Old Men as a screenplay instead of as a novel; does this make for a better adaptation? Do you find that novels written in the age of TV and films emphasize dialog over traditional narrative description? This neo-Western thriller is set in a Mexican-Texan borderland, propelled into its action by a drug deal gone wrong. The movie adaptation won the Academy Award for Best Picture, among other awards.
