No Country for Old Men - How Javier Bardem Perfected Anton Chigurh

This video essay analyzes Javier Bardem's acting in No Country for Old Men (Miramax/Paramount). Playing a psychopath isn't easy as there are already so many famous performances in existence that it's hard to do something new. But Javier Bardem played Anton Chigurh as a cold detached psychopath that had no empathy for anyone around him, a robotic killing machine with clumsy body language and an awful haircut. This video looks at his physicality, eye contact and his comfort with violence.
