Joel and Ethan Coen's thrilling debut feature - a stylish, imaginative and hard-boiled neo-noir - marked their arrival as important and distinctive new cinematic voices on its release three decades ago.

Presented in a luminous new 4k restoration, Blood Simple possesses all the characteristics that propelled the Coens to later success - razor-sharp dialogue; a predilection for lethal and futile violence; and ironic, fatalistic humour. M. Emmett Walsh, Dan Hedaya, Frances McDormand and John Getz lead the cast in a murder plot gone wrong, Coens-style.

Released as part of the UK-wide BFI Thriller season.
