With the title derived from a Dashiell Hammett novel, the Coen Brothers’ debut feature begins with a jealous bar owner who lives deep in the heart of Texas who hires a private eye to kill his wife and her lover. The sleazy hit man double-crosses the husband, but getting away with ‘the perfect crime’ proves not to be as simple as it seems. Blood Simple uncoils its film noir plot with audacious style, dense atmosphere, and blood-curdling twists. Print provided courtesy of the American Genre Film Archive. (35mm presentation)
