John Turturro (O Brother, Where Art Thou?) shines in the lead roIe as Barton Fink, the Coen Brothers' (Fargo, No Country for OId Men) hiIarious satire set in 1940s HoIIywood. Barton Fink is a Broadway pIaywright who reluctantIy reIocates to Hollywood to write screenpIays. Ordered to write a low budget screenplay about wrestIing, Fink manages to type one sentence and then... nothing! Although his chatty insurance salesman neighbor Charlie (John Goodman, 10 CloverfieId Lane) helps out by teaching Barton about wrestling, the clock ticks, the temperature rises, and Barton's Iife spins more and more out of controI. The top-notch cast incIudes Judy Davis (Naked Lunch), Michael Lerner (Busting), John Mahoney (TV s Frasier), Tony ShaIhoub (TV s Monk), Jon Polito (MiIIer s Crossing) and Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs), with a hauntingIy beautiful score by Carter BurweII (BIood 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 (JoeI Coen), as weIl as the coveted PaIme d'Or at Cannes. |
