- Joel and Ethan Coen had never set foot on a feature film set before filming Blood Simple. Join The Coen Brothers and Barry Sonnenfeld as they discuss the lighting choices they made for the film.
Blood Simple is a 1984 American independent neo-noir crime film written, edited, produced, and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, and starring John Getz, Frances McDormand, Dan Hedaya, and M. Emmet Walsh. Its plot follows a Texas bartender who finds himself in the midst of a murder plot when his boss discovers that he is having a love affair with his wife. It was the directorial debut of the Coen's and the first major film of cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld, who later became a director, as well as the feature-film debut of Joel Coen's wife, McDormand.
The film's title derives from the Dashiell Hammett novel Red Harvest (1929), in which the term "blood simple" describes the addled, fearful mind-set of people after prolonged immersion in violent situations. Stylistically, the film has been noted for its blending elements of neo-noir, pulp crime stories, and low-budget horror films. In 2001, a director's cut was released, the same year that it was ranked number 98 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Thrills.

When the guys' first, super low budget movie is better than 99% of every movie since it was made.
Lol! It really is a great one.
My all time favorite flick. 1st time directors, writers, actress, soundtrack composer cinematographer and lighting (Barry had done some commercial films). No budget really sto start with, $1 million eventually, and a 44 day shoot. I've seen it 13 times. What makes a thriller, a thriller, is that the audience thinks they know more than the actors and that works until it doesn't, then the audience goes WTF !!?? and realizes that The Coens know more than the audience :D
Their lighting is so good you have to look very hard to notice they film most of the interior scenes on constructed sets. Especially the "Jerry goes to Wades office" scene from Fargo.
This is a reupload with correct spelling of Coen. Thank you to Admir Medic for catching my mistake. There is one more Coen Brother's video coming. After that, I'm planning on doing one on Dr. Strangelove.
Thank you all for your support!
You deserve a bigger following
I enjoyed the video.
I think my comment got deleted or something but thanks again
