ABOUT THE FILMS: BLOOD SIMPLE, 1984, Dir. Ethan Coen, 95 Min, Janus Films, USA This razor-sharp modern film noir, the first film by Joel and Ethan Coen, introduced the brothers’ inimitable black humor and eccentric sense of character, a sensibility that has helped shape the course of contemporary American cinema. Deep in the heart of Texas, a sleazy bar owner suspects his wife of having an affair and hires a private detective to confirm his suspicions—only to have the crosshairs turned back on himself. Playfully shot by Barry Sonnenfeld and featuring a haunting score by Carter Burwell and a cunning performance by Frances McDormand, BLOOD SIMPLE was a career-launching film for this ensemble and the first articulation of the precision of style that has defined the Coens’ work ever since. FORMAT: DCP RAISING ARIZONA, 1987, Dir. Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, 94 Min, Disney, USA A childless couple decide to help themselves to one of another family’s quintuplets. FORMAT: DCP
