Acclaimed filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen deliver their most gripping and ambitious film yet in this supercharged action-thriller.  When a man stumbles on a bloody crime scene, a pickup truck loaded with heroin, and two million dollars in cash, his decision to take the money sets off an unstoppable chain reaction of violence.  No Country for Old Men is based on the novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy, features an acclaimed cast led by Tommy Lee Jones, and is the winner of four Academy Awards including Best Picture. 

This screening is part of MoMA's Collaborations in the Collection, which showcases collaborative efforts in film where the reciprocity in the creative process produces singular works. This summer, Collaborations in the Collection spotlights Joel and Ethan Coen, whose partnership is one of the most prominent filmmaking collaborations in contemporary cinema. Going beyond writing and directing, the Coen brothers also share producing and editing responsibilities, and repeatedly collaborate with many of the same actors, sound editor, and cinematographers.
