Barton Fink

A perplexing and fascinating mix of psychological drama and black comedy, Joel and Ethan Coen's award-winning film stars John Turturro as Barton Fink, a '40s New York playwright hired by a Hollywood studio to write screenplays. Fink's inability to complete the assignment, the rundown hotel he stays in, and a talkative insurance salesman from the next room all play a part in a cinematic descent into Hell. With John Goodman, Judy Davis, Michael Lerner. 116 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English; interviews; deleted scenes; theatrical trailer.
