The plot tends to revolve around cars, to the extent that its almost pivotal to story. Most of the talking tends to happen in a car, Jerry Lundegaard works in a car dealership and the two men they hire to abduct his wife kill the police man after he pulls them over for a traffic violation.
Cars provide a location in two ways, first as a scene in which two people sit next to each other and talk. The second way that it is used is by a car driving down a road off into the distance surrounded by snow. This is used for instance as the opening scene as well as in one of the last scenes in the movie. This use of cars serves to highlight to remoteness of the area, there is also something sublime about it. Having said that I think it is also quite a cliché shot in cinematography.
There some problems with using this as a location, first being that i don't have a car and secondly I wouldn't be able to so it without snow.
