BLOOD SIMPLE
Cinemax, 9:40 p.m. ET
How is this possible? The Coen Brothers’ cinematic debut, the brilliant and twisted film noir mysteryBlood Simple, arrived in 1984. Which means it is now celebrating its 35thanniversary. That seems unthinkable, somehow, that we’ve had Joel and Ethan Coen, the super-creative siblings behindThe Big Lebowski and O Brother, Where Art Thou? making movies for a third of a century now – but they have. Dan Hedaya, John Getz and M. Emmett Walsh star in this story about jealousy, infidelity and murder. Also starring: Frances McDormand, who a dozen years later would star so brilliantly in the Coen Brothers’ Fargo.
