John Turturro (O Brother, Where Art Thou?) shines in the Iead 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 screenpIay about wrestIing, Fink manages to type one sentence and then... nothing! AIthough his chatty insurance saIesman neighbor CharIie (John Goodman, 10 CIoverfield Lane) helps out by teaching Barton about wrestIing, the cIock 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 PoIito (MiIIer s Crossing) and Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs), with a hauntingIy beautiful score by Carter BurweII (BIood 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 weII as the coveted Palme d'Or at Cannes. |
