Blu-ray quality exceeded my expectations.

January 21, 2015

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

Just purchased the Region Free Blu-ray of Barton Fink. I was concerned reading reviews stating that is was not much better than the up scaled DVD. Well, I am relieved to say that the Blu-ray exceeded my expectations. It is world's better than the DVD, which I recently sold. Detail, colors, contrast, blacks...all superior on the Blu-ray. The lossless audio was very good as well, crystal clear dialogue. Truely was like watching the movie for the first time. It's not going to look like movies released in the last few years, but anyone should buy this Blu-ray with confidence.

It's That Guy Phil

One of my favorite quirky "cult" films

October 12, 2015

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

One of my favorite quirky "cult" movies. I have loved this film since it first came out, and enjoy watching it again here and there. I never had it on DVD before, so it's a nice addition to my collection. The story line is great. It sucks you in right away with that curiosity of whether or not it will be boring, but ever so carefully, the twists begin and before long you are entranced until the end... which is worth waiting for.
As well, John Turturro and John Goodman are both excellent in their roles, as this showcases their best attributes.

A Weighty Allegorical Play Heavier than John Goodman

February 28, 2016

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

Wonderful acting by John Tuturro and John Goodman will keep you watching this movie from start to finish.
Then you must search for meaning, which may be summarized in a single sentence, "writer's block is hell." (And hell is a weird, Hotel California where you must live out your days.)
Not for viewers who are looking for light-hearted humor like Raising Arizona or straight-forward gratuitous violent humor of Fargo.

Barton Fink Delivers Quirky Entertainment

February 2, 2014

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

I had to watch this film for college film class so I was glad to save a little money using my Prime account.

Barton Fink is rich in cinematic language communicating much more than just the words you hear the actors and actresses say.

Set during a time when fascists powers were on the rise in parts of the world, the main protagonist is Barton Fink.

Fink starts out as a playwright who enjoys some critical acclaim for his play in New York and as a result, Hollywood comes calling. At first, he's reluctant to "sell out" his belief in representing the common man because he believes he'll be pressured into writing purely for profit, he eventually makes the move...and that's where the action really begins! There are more than a few completely unexpected plot twists and plenty of action at just the right times. What does the picture of the girl sitting on the beach mean to you?

I enjoyed this offbeat, quirky and yet fun film as I got to hang out with a fellow writer, Barton Fink.

I think you'll enjoy it too.

No One Wants to Know

October 19, 2012

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

All writers have a bit of masochism until blood begins to seep out from under their fingernails. Then, it's all better. With this carefully chosen character name for John Turturro's role, Barton Fink, we leave the familiar digs of off Broadway's theatrical success, and watch reclusive Barton Fink take the hook, fly to LA where he takes occupancy in a strange hotel (Can you see Jack Nicholson's face, grimacing?) and settles in to write a film. Da da dee dum da dee....as his neighboring roomie drifts in, he's savaged by stereotypical Hollywood producers, passive alternating with aggressive, until the viewer realizes at the very end.....he's been had! But do you know how you've been had? Hint: Look for obvious hyperbole in audio, setting, and visual bits. An excellent and artistic portrayal of the writer's process.

Another Coen Brothers Classic!!!

July 14, 2003

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I recently purchased "Barton Fink" along with "Miller's Crossinhg", another Coen Brothers gem.

Barton Fink quite simply is a writer who cannot see the forest for the trees. He is so taken with the fact that he is a writer that he can't write. He is so idealistic that he misses fantastic opportunities to become a writer for the ages because he wastes precious time proeselytizing. John Goodman perfectly sums up eveyone's frustration with Barton Fink when after a series of unfortunate occurrences, Barton asks him "Why me?" to which John's character answers "Because you don't LISTEN!"

Set in 1930s Hollywood we follow the exploits of a one-hit wonder, Barton Fink, who has written a successful Broadway play and is summoned by the powers that be to Hollywood. After much cajoling to take the job from his agent, Barton arrives in Los Angeles determined to become the writer for the common man where he insists true stories live. The trouble with Barton, however, is he does not have time for the common man because he has so romanticised their lot as well as his particular quest in speaking for them.

Excellent performances from John Turturo, John Goodman, Judy Davis, John Polito (often overlooked, but his scenes ALWAYS become his!!) and the inimitable Tony Shalub.

I have decided after a slew of Coen Brothers films I currently have in my collection, that any project these guys are involved with deserve more than passing scrutiny.
