Blood Simple
That story tells about a world of bad adventure. That story began when the owner of the rich saloon decided to hire a cheap divorce investigator to kill the younger wife of the salon owner and her lover. This decision may be very bad because it is about killing and maybe everything will be wrong when it comes to blood. Everything seems to be difficult to achieve at that stage.

There's a simple magnetism inherent in this kind of filmmaking, and the Coens know how to orchestrate it.

Watching this beautiful restoration of "Blood Simple" I was actually struck by how non-bleak it is, how much the strength of the film lies in images of beauty, defiance and survival.

It isn't really about anything except making a commercial narrative movie outside the industry.

"Blood Simple" becomes a dazzling comedie noire, a dynamic, virtuoso display by a couple of talented fledgling filmmakers who give the conventions of the genre such a thorough workout that the result is a movie that's fresh and exhilarating.

Simpleness and crime have consistently fascinated the pair, who may as well be praying at the temple of Ate...the Coens preach a healthy respect for the randomness and chaos that ensues from our desires. [Criterion Blu-ray]
