I don't think I got Barton Fink. Turturro & Goodman deliver mesmerising performances, while I wanted to see more of Buscemi, Shalhoub & Mahoney's characters. Unfortunately from the point Fink is accosted in the bar by several units of uniformed officers, the film lost me. There is religious allegory mixed into what lies between absurdism and surrealism, and I didn't really enjoy it. Lipnick's (Lerner) final speech trapping him under contract was good, but didn't really conclude the film for me.

I'll show you the life of an intellectual in crisis! Highly Kafkaesque, probably the most so out of any Coen Bros work.
