Description
Widely acknowledged as one of the greatest gangster films ever made, Millers Crossing is directed from an original screenplay by legendary left-field film-making brothers Joel and Ethan Coen (Intolerable Cruelty, Fargo, Raising Arizona and Oh Brother, Where Art Thou). It is a brooding gangster noir movie, dark and cold as gun metal. Set in prohibition-struck 1929 in an unnamed eastern American city, the Coen brothers gangster drama is inspired by the works of Dashiel Hammett which will surprise and delight fans of the horrific Blood Simple and the manic Raising Arizona. In filming Millers Crossing, the brothers assembled a team of old and new collaborators and a first-rate ensemble cast. Its the compelling story of a friendship between the local political boss, Leo (four time Academy Award nominee Albert Finney - Tom Jones, Erin Brockovich) and Tom Reagan (Gabriel Byrne - The Usual Suspects, End of Days), the man behind the man. The mens friendship is severed when Leo and Tom both fall in love with the same woman, Verna (Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden - Pollock, Mystic River). Tom joins ranks with Johnny Caspar (Jon Polito - Barton Fink, The Singing Detective) Leos foremost enemy and rival for political power, and a bloody gang war erupts. The lynchpin between them all is Vernas brother, Bernie (John Turturro - Oh Brother, Where Art Thou, Mr Deeds) who crosses and double crosses all parties. Will Tom sell out to a friend Is Verna still Leos girl Can Johnny muscle in Or will Bernie turn the tables on his friends and family Millers Crossing is propelled by gripping action, stunning cinematography and black humour to create an intense and twisting plot that walks a deadly tightrope.
