- Abstract
The article offers criticism on the film "No Country for Old Men," directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. The author focuses on cartography and maps in the film and discusses how the characters in the film occupy the topographic field, using scholarship from Tom Conley and André Bazin as examples. He focuses on three maps in the film, including a map of Texas, a map of the U.S., and a map of a hotel. Also discussed are the characters of Anton Chigurh and Ed Tom Bell.
