"Barton Fink" (1991) Directed by The Coen Brothers
“I’ll show you the life of a mind”.
Number 3 in my personal all time favourite Coen Brothers film is this absolute classic. An all star cast again, however it’s the two central performances from a stunning John Turturro as troubled writer “Barton Fink” and his erstwhile friend “Charlie Meadows”, a performance of sublime intrigue and perfection from John Goodman. Before Charlie’s introduction we see the torn life of Barton Fink, standing backstage as his play is drawing to a close with the audience baying for the writer and warmly showing their appreciation, Barton takes his bow. But he looks strangely unfulfilled. More appreciation follows and with the unfulfillment growing, Barton is invited to Hollywood to write larger, bigger productions.
