BARTON FINK (1991) - Nov. 27, 2007
This was easily the Coen brothers' most flat-out strange film -- about a writer who moves to Hollywood as a screenwriter and promptly gets writer's block, this gets more and more bizarre as it progresses. It's very well made, and features a really impressive performance from John Turturro. This seems like the type of movie David Lynch wishes he could make; it's got a similarly odd vibe, but it never feels like weirdness for weirdness' sake. I've been thinking about it a lot since I watched it, so I think a repeat viewing is definitely necessary. ***1/2
