The Brothers

Noah talks with Joel and Ethan Coen. the brothers behind the film, "Fargo." The characters and a certain time are important for their movies. In this case, it's 1987 in the upper Midwest, in the dead of winter, when businessmen wear goofy hats and big down parkas over their otherwise elegant suits and have to waste time scrapping ice off their cars. The Coen brother grew up in St. Louis, a Minneapolis suburb.
