Ron Evangelista is a writer with a burning passion for movies. He became enamored with films at a very young age when his father tirelessly watched them with him in a small apartment in Makati City, Philippines. As a result, he has developed a lifelong love-affair with cinema, as well as an unhealthy obsession with the Sergio Leone close-up.
The Big Picture The Coen Brothers are household names in cinema, possessing a filmography filled with critical and commercial acclaim. With a unique style of storytelling enveloped in empathy and sardonic humor, Ethan and Joel are simply naturals when it comes to filmmaking. Going back to their very first feature film, 1984's Blood Simple offers an interesting insight into the two filmmakers' relationship with their craft and art.
What is 'Blood Simple' About? Julian Marty , a seedy bar owner in Texas, discovers through private investigator Loren that his wife Abby is having an affair with his employee, Ray . Infuriated by this discovery, he asks Loren to kill them in exchange for $10,000. Loren breaks into Ray's apartment, steals Abby's gun, and appears to have done the job.
In the middle of this, a financially motivated double-cross ensues, which is commonplace in their other films, from Fargo, The Big Lebowski, No Country for Old Men, and Burn After Reading, among others. Moreover, Adam Nayman in The Coen Brothers: This Book Really Ties the Films Together astutely notes that the first recurring Coen Brothers setup happens in this film, which is "a fateful conversation between two characters at either end of a desk.
