Skouras Pictures, 1984

This more scarce and sensual International style for the Coen Bros. debut classic features the lead lovers in a passionate embrace all over the barrel of a gun.

A very clean unrestored poster with some fold wear.

This gripping neo-noir crime film, about a Texas bartender having an affair with the boss's wife and the complicated murder plot that follows, stars John Getz, Frances McDormand (in her screen debut), Dan Hedaya, and M. Emmet Walsh. The directorial debut of Joel and Ethan Cohen (who also wrote the screenplay and edited the film), was also the first major film by cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld, who later emerged as an influential director in his own right. While the film was only a moderate success at the box office, it was a massive critical hit, launching several essential careers. As well, it has been widely hailed as one of the most important independent films ever made, a claim that is hard to dispute.
