Director's 1st Films - Blood Simple (1984)

Blood Simple – Written and Directed by Joel and Ethan Cohen

Joel and Ethan Coen (Fargo, Miller’s Crossing, Raising Arizona, Barton Fink) An excellent noir about a husband hiring a private investigator - no sane person would trust – to kill his cheating wife and her new lover. All the twists, turns, and double backs the Coens have become known for are evident here, as well as their trademark black, black humor. Exceptional.

(Frances McDormand, John Getz, Dan Hedaya, and the great character actor M. Emmet Walsh)
