Barton Fink is a Broadway playwright lured to Hollywood with the promise of untold riches by a boorish studio chieftain.  Despising the film capital and everything it stands for, Fink comes down with an acute case of writer's block.  He is looked after by a secretary who has been acting as a ghost writer for an alcoholic screenwriter.  Also keeping tabs on Fink is a garrulous travelling salesman, the most likeable, stable character in the picture.  Then comes the plot twist to end all plot twists, which plunges Barton Fink into a surreal nightmare.  Once more, Joel and Ethan Coen serve up a smorgasbord of quirkiness and kinkiness, where nothing is what it seems and nothing turns out as planned.

The Coen Bro strike movie gold with a surreal, Roman a' clef romp through old Hollywood populated by their typically vivid cast of characters. John Turturro portrays Barton Fink, a thinly-disguised version of Clifford Odets who's been lured to write a wrestling picture for a Louie B. Mayer-like studio head. Fink is constantly distracted, first becoming involved with the mistress of another scribe--a wailing drunk, based on William Faulkner, hilariously realized by the late John Mahoney. All the while, Fink is housed in a seedy hotel where his neighbor, an overwrought salesman(the brilliant John Goodman) bumps about his room at night further distracting Fink from his task of delivering a script. It may not sound like it, but the Coens fashion some fascinating stuff out of this concoction. Highly recommended.

This is one of my favorite Coen Brothers movies (but then again, aren't they all!). I've seen it more times than I can remember, and it never gets old. I just wish it was available in HD. Until then, I simply can't buy it. No HD = NO DEAL

Terrific movie Grey cast marvelous watch it over and over again tutorial and Goodman you can't beat it great pairs
