The Coen Brothers crafted yet another winner with this one. Barton Fink is a clever, suspenseful, and intriguing story about the intricacies of a writer's mind. John Turturro absolutely excels as the eponymous Fink, providing yet another solid performance that proves once again that he is an incredibly underrated actor.

I also highly enjoyed John Goodman in this film, who played against type and showed a complex, insane character whose motives are entirely unclear until the last half-hour. Barton Fink shows how a certain order of unbelievable events can jog a writer's mind back into working order and help him craft a masterpiece. Maybe that's what happened to the Coens when they wrote this.
