In Hollywood on the eve of World War II, Barton Fink, the New York playwright, arrives to work as a screenwriter. He is assigned a low-brow wrestling movie, and quickly develops writer's block, which is aggravated by the seedy hotel he is staying in and his aggressively jovial neighbor, Charlie. Barton's struggle to create a truly great screenplay leads from the strange and unproductive to the terrifying and surreal.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

super-creepy submitted by lisa on July 23, 2018, 5:46pm Makes old hotels extra creepy.

shocking, but good and quite watchable. submitted by Tassos on April 17, 2021, 6:59pm If it's made by the Cohen brothers, there is some guarantee it will be good or excellent

So was this one, but it ended quite suddenly, I thought it still had a ways to go. And the end scene had little relationship to the previous scenes, really.
