Starring John Turturo, John Goodman
The constant battle between artists and the need to make their art saleable is parodied to great effect in Barton Fink. Fink (Turturo) is excellent as a playwright gone west to Hollywood to make money writing wrestling movies. Goodman as a crazed killer and Michael Lerner as Lipkin, the studio boss, are fascinating. Rating: A–
