The Coen Brothers: Still Burning with Creativity
(Page 2)
Raising Arizona (1987)
As they would do many times in their career, the Coens’ flouted convention by making their follow-up film to Blood Simple an over-the-top, slapstick comedy. Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter play an ex-con and ex-cop, respectively, who get married but find that they cannot have children. In an act of desperation, the mismatched pair decides to steal one of the quintuplets of furniture tycoon Nathan Arizona. Like in the Coen brothers’ previous film, what starts out as a seemingly sure-fire plan becomes increasingly more complicated as friends, co-workers and a deadly bounty hunter attempt to retrieve the baby and reward money. Despite the film’s hilarious, over-the-top humor, the moviemakers also proved adept at finding the emotional core of the story, making the audience feel sympathy towards the bumbling, well-meaning criminals.
