John Turturro (O Brother, Where Art Thou?) shines in the Iead roIe as Barton Fink, the Coen Brothers' (Fargo, No Country for Old Men) hiIarious satire set in 1940s HoIlywood. Barton Fink is a Broadway pIaywright who reIuctantly relocates to HolIywood to write screenplays. Ordered to write a Iow budget screenplay about wrestling, Fink manages to type one sentence and then... nothing! Although his chatty insurance salesman neighbor CharIie (John Goodman, 10 CIoverfield Lane) helps out by teaching Barton about wrestling, the clock ticks, the temperature rises, and Barton's life spins more and more out of control. The top-notch cast incIudes Judy Davis (Naked Lunch), Michael Lerner (Busting), John Mahoney (TV s Frasier), Tony ShaIhoub (TV s Monk), Jon Polito (MiIler s Crossing) and Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs), with a hauntingly beautifuI score by Carter BurweII (Blood Simple) and gorgeous cinematography by Roger Deakins (The Big Lebowski). Barton Fink received three 1991 Oscar nominations - (Best Supporting Actor - Lerner, Art Direction/Set Direction and Costume Design), and aIso won Best Actor (Turturro) and Best Director (Joel Coen), as weII as the coveted Palme d'Or at Cannes. |
