You betcha – the Coen Brothers’ twisted crime classic Fargo is getting a long-overdue 4K upgrade! On November 7th, Shout! Factory releases their lavish new Collector’s Edition, letting fans experience the cult favorite like never before.
This seven-time Oscar winner remains an incisive blast of Midwestern noir nearly 30 years later. With its quirky characters, bleakly funny violence, and endless quotable dialogue, Fargo helped cement the Coens as brilliant stylists with a knack for blending genres.
Now audiences can revisit hapless car salesman Jerry Lundegaard’s ransoming scheme gone awry like they’re watching again for the first time. Roger Deakins’ stark, snowbound cinematography pops vividly, while Carter Burwell’s evocative score fills the room. Of course, Frances McDormand’s Marge Gunderson still delightfully steals her scenes with her trademark Minnesota accent in this career-defining role.
Shout! Factory’s 4K UHD Blu-ray overflows with extras old and new, including a cast and crew retrospective, insights from Deakins, and much more. Or go all-out for the Deluxe Limited Edition, which piles on exclusive Fargo memorabilia.
Alongside the 4K disc, this ultimate set includes a woodchipper snowglobe, golf notebook prop replica, and 18×24 inch theatrical poster print. Perfect for displaying your “Minnesota nice” pride, or gift giving to fellow fans.
Treat yourself to a return trip to snowy small-town hell with the Collector’s Edition or go Deluxe for the ultimate Fargo experience.
However you opt to bring home this darkly hilarious classic, watching Marge piece together an ever-growing trail of bodies never looked or sounded better.
