BARTON FINK PICTURE MOVIE
Barton Fink is a New York playwright who fancies himself a writer championing “the common man,” but when he has an opportunity to write a Hollywood screenplay for a movie about a wrestler (the kind of the story “the common man” would have found entertaining at the time), he can barely type a word. The film is about, essentially, writer’s block, since the Cohen brothers themselves had been going through some writing difficulties when working on Miller’s Crossing.

It stars John Turturro (in the title role) and John Goodman it costars John Mahoney, Judy Davis, Steve Buscemi, Michael Lerner, and Tony Shalhoub.

Barton Fink is a 1991 period film produced by Ethan Cohen, directed by Joel Cohen, and written by both of them.
