BLOOD SIMPLE
Special Features: 4K Restoration
The Coen brothers’ uncommonly assured debut film was a bona fide indie hit — in fact, it helped define what an “indie hit” was. A Texas-set neo-noir full of grisly humor and with a page or two stolen from the horror film playbook, the film features the Coens’ first great screen villain in M. Emmet Walsh’s Visser, a sleazy private eye hired by roadhouse proprietor Julian (Dan Hedaya) to catch his cheating wife, Abby (Frances McDormand). Greedy double-crossing and inventive plot-twisting lead to a memorably thrilling climax. DIR/SCR Joel Coen; SCR/PROD Ethan Coen. U.S., 1984, color, 95 min. RATED R
