One of the best directorial debuts in history. Very, VERY gripping.

Just watched it again for the second time, as I begin to make my way through the Coen Brothers filmography and it is indeed, very impressive. There are a few lulls in the movie as far as plot and pacing are concerned, but I just love the gradual build up of suspense and the way the Coens convert a rather simple 'jealous husband conspires to murder cheating wife' story into something twisted. Very classy movie.
