Fantastic Fest special report: Delights, debates, and Dolph Lundgren

Its filthy, and its atrocious, and it makes no fing sense, he said. But the man uttering those words was neither a critic, nor some offended protestor.

Fargofinale recap: 'Somebody to Love'

A pitch-perfect scene caps off an uneven season. Theres the kneejerk, which at first flags a set of episodes as different before mutating into disappointing. But then, some brave content creator on a deadline fires up a take. Credit: Chris Large/FX What if, they begin. No, creative success is never obvious or popular, not in Take Town. While I maintain that this the weakest season by many measures, the story of Gloria Burgle, V....

Fargopremiere recap: 'The Law of Vacant Places'

Meet the Stussy brothers. But if we dont, the season opener could stand as a nice thematic aperitif. Mr. Ungerleider is taken into custody for murder. Credit: Chris Large/FX This is, of course, all a big misunderstanding. The authorities are looking for a man named Yuri Gurka, who apparently strangled his girlfriend. If it is the case that the wrong man was arrested, the state made an error. And in 1988 East Berlin, the state is never wrong....

The stakes are higher. The emotions seem more real. And theres a central crime that hasnt already been solved by Gloria. Credit: Chris Large/FX The hour opened with the kind of evocative image thatFargohas specialized in: V.M. Varga opens presents under Emmits Christmas tree with a switchblade.

Fargorecap: 'The Law of Non-Contradiction'

Gloria goes to L.A. in search of answers. Theres something uncanny about the third season ofFargoso far. Three episodes in, and everything seems to be in order based on what I know about the series. Credit: Chris Large/FX Theres a central crime thats almost immediately complicated by layers of purposeful deceit and bargain-brand levels of stupidity. There have been multiple jumps into different time periods. Oddball world-building, like a Santa Claus convention....

Gloria catches a break. Most obviously, the fourth episode of the season got a narrator. Youve got Emmit as the bird. Credit: Chris Large/FX Ray is the duck. Nikki is the cat. The Eastern European guy (who is probably the missing Yuri Gurka) is the sound of shotgun blasts. Varga, naturally, is the wolf. And Gloria, of course, is our Peter. Hanzee killing Dodd Gerhardt might be a shock in the moment, but to history, its a detail....
