A highly stylized gangster genre film as can only be imagined by Joel and Ethan Coen.

Set in an urban city during the Prohibition-era 1930s in American, Miller’s Crossing centers around two rival gangs who are out to control the town’s lucrative illegal activities. As you can imagine, there’s a dame and the snitch, the laconic anti-hero and, despite numerous faults, the loveable mob leader. Miller’s Crossing is full of black humor and intense violence, producing some of the most visually stunning and entertaining film sequences in cinema. Watch as this paradoxical tale both warns and embraces the criminal underworld in such beautiful display.
