Review of Barton Fink (1991) by Vincent H — 24 Dec 2010
Damn Coen Brothers!!! This was one hell of a movie. A writer gets invited to Hollywood after the success of his playwright. He signs a contract to write a script in Hollywood related to wrestling. Unfortunately, he hardly knows anything about wrestling, and hence suffers from writer's block. Feeling lonely in LA, he finds a friend in his neighboring room of his hotel. Telling what happens further would be spoiling the movie for those who haven't seen it as yet.
To be honest, the movie didn't entertain me per se, but I wasn't bored even for a minute. It succeeded to keep me attentive throughout the movie. I gotta admit that I don't like Coen Brothers' movie generally (at least the ones I've seen thus far), but this was a different experience. While not one of the greatest flicks ever, it was an amazing one for sure (at least for me).
