Frequently Asked Questions

What is Barton Fink about? Toggle content

In this surrealist dark comedy from the Coen brothers, a celebrated playwright is lured to Hollywood to write a wrestling picture. Barton Fink, played by John Turturro, struggles to adapt to his new surroundings and grapple with his assignment, finding solace in the bizarre encounters he has with his pushy neighbor, played by John Goodman. As he becomes increasingly detached from reality, Fink finds himself caught up in a web of absurd events that threaten to unravel his sanity. With its unique blend of humor and pathos, Barton Fink is both an ode to the art of writing and a scathing critique of the film industry. (1991)
