Review of Blood Simple (1985) by Brandon S — 24 Feb 2017
What interests me most is the way that the film presents itself, which is as a simple, cut-and-dry Southern fried thriller. However, this movie is a total rabbit hole. The farther you go, the more complicated things get, and the more you want.
The Coen brothers announced their arrival as meticulous, reclusive artists with an eccentric flare with their sophomore film, "Raising Arizona". No one is arguing that, but don't turn your eyes away from "Blood Simple", because this wild thing is as perfect a film as you're likely to see. It's that rare moment in cinema where I can't think of a single thing that I would change.
