Nieuwe Markt 1, 9712KN Groningen GroningenThe feature debut of the acclaimed 'Coen Brothers' (No Country For Old Men, Fargo, The Big Lebowski). In honor of the 40th anniversary, they made a new edit, restored in 4K and with dolby sound.
With Blood Simple, Joel and Ethan Coen immediately delivered their darkly comic calling card. A cafe owner in a small Texas town discovers that his wife is having an affair with one of his employees and calls in a private detective to kill the two. It just turns out he's not too smart. When a body is discovered, a complex web of deceit and double agendas is created and it is only a matter of time before there are more victims. The plot lines become ingeniously intertwined, with strong performances by Frances McDormand (Fargo), who makes her feature debut here.
