Anthony Minghella’s romantic World War II drama is a fine film, though it tests viewers’ patience over the course of three hours. On the other hand, Fargo spawned a TV series. It also created a fandom for the Coen brothers’ winningly quirky black comedy about murderous deeds and dimwits in snow-covered Minnesota. Fargo cemented the directors as America’s foremost re-inventors of the crime drama.
