Team Lucky the Donkey is proud to select, with their very late 3rd round pick, Barton Fink in the in the category Award Winner (Palm d'or 1991)
The first movie to sweep all major awards at the Cannes Film Festival, the tale of a movie writer with writers block and a psychotic neighbour.
John Turturro is amazing in anything he does, and I am actually not a big fan of the Coen Brothers at all. I do love this movie though. Goodman is an underrated actor, and is great as a seemingly normal guy (to begin with) that just wants to talk. Fink is arrogant, feels that he is better than Goodman and just wont take the time to have a normal conversation imo. I don't get too much into the was Goodman Satan argument, if he is or not it doesn't make the movie any more or less enjoyable to me. The wallpaper peeling every time Karl Mundt comes into the room, BECAUSE YOU DON'T LISTEN!, and waking up next to a dead chick are all parts that stick in my mind. I'm too lazy to go more into it, but a great flick.
Trailer:
"I could tell you stories to curl your hair but I guess you've already heard them"
"Charlie's back. It's hot, he's back"
