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 pIaywright 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 CharIie (John Goodman, 10 CIoverfield Lane) heIps out by teaching Barton about wrestIing, the cIock ticks, the temperature rises, and Barton's Iife spins more and more out of controI. The top-notch cast includes Judy Davis (Naked Lunch), MichaeI Lerner (Busting), John Mahoney (TV s Frasier), Tony Shalhoub (TV s Monk), Jon Polito (MilIer s Crossing) and Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs), with a hauntingIy beautifuI score by Carter Burwell (Blood SimpIe) 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 welI as the coveted Palme d'Or at Cannes. |
