impossible

I finally saw no country for old men, and found it, as most did, pretty great. it somehow reminded me of a david lynch movie, say, mullholland dr. or inland empire. Stories with hidden meanings, vs meanings with hidden stories. And all three were filled with a lot of patient shots, with a rich style that infects you, and that haunts you after the movie's over.

Update: There's spoilers in it, but this discussion about NCfOM made me see the lynch connection more directly, espcially, of course, when one of the commenters explicitly draws the connection. I have more thoughts on it, but they're not for those who haven't seen it, so ask me some time.
