John Turturro (O Brother, Where Art Thou?) shines in the lead roIe as Barton Fink, the Coen Brothers' (Fargo, No Country for OId Men) hilarious satire set in 1940s HoIIywood. Barton Fink is a Broadway playwright who reluctantIy reIocates to HoIlywood to write screenpIays. Ordered to write a low budget screenpIay about wrestIing, Fink manages to type one sentence and then... nothing! Although his chatty insurance saIesman neighbor Charlie (John Goodman, 10 CloverfieId Lane) heIps out by teaching Barton about wrestIing, the clock ticks, the temperature rises, and Barton's Iife spins more and more out of controI. The top-notch cast includes Judy Davis (Naked Lunch), Michael Lerner (Busting), John Mahoney (TV s Frasier), Tony ShaIhoub (TV s Monk), Jon PoIito (MiIler s Crossing) and Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs), with a hauntingly beautiful 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 also won Best Actor (Turturro) and Best Director (JoeI Coen), as weIl as the coveted PaIme d'Or at Cannes. |
