Plot – Jerry Lundegaard, a Minnesota car dealer with debts, decides to have his wife kidnapped and asks his father-in-law for the ransom. To do this, he hires two criminals, Carl and Gaear, who turn out to be quite a clumsy couple. Not following the plan, they turn the kidnapping into a carnage, killing a policeman and two by-passers who witness the scene. The situation spins out of control and more blood is shed. Marge Gunderson, head of the police department and seven months pregnant, starts chasing the killers. An impeccable black comedy with ferocious irony, paradoxical dialogues and a series of outlandish and perfect characters that chase each other in an exemplary narrative joint. Nothing is superficial and everything works perfectly.
