I was fifteen years old the first time I saw the movie Blood Simple. It was a lazy weekend, watching whatever was on TV at the mercy of what programming was available on whatever an antenna in the country could pick up. This particular weekend, it was PBS and an episode of American Masters focusing on the independent film boom of the 1980s and 1990s. I learned all about Spike Lee, Quentin Tarantino, Sam Raimi and, most curious of all to me, the Coen Brothers and their debut feature, Blood Simple (1984).
