Review of Blood Simple (1985) by Jorge G — 19 Sep 2009
The Coens' blessed introduction into the world of cinema (and our existences) began with this dark, sweat-and-blood noir film set in Texas. With a great cast (a mean-and-nasty Hedaya, a screwed-by-fate Getz, a beautiful and naive McDormand, and an amazing Walsh in one of the best performances in history, affably folksy, ruthlessly murderous, all the way sleazy) and with some of the best camera work I've seen in a movie, the soundtrack is pure 80's thriller (plus some great song choices like "It's the Same Old Song") This is true edge-of-your-seat stuff.
