barton fink (1991)


a hollywood "black comedy" as wikipedia calls it, directed by the coen brothers
it's a story about a writer who is assigned a b wrestling movie, but can't seem to start writing until the shit hits the fan. he has meetings with hollywood big shots and a fellow writer whose secretary writes all the material. another meeting is with his new neighbor, charlie. charlie's character changes mid-picture and this is what inspires our poor writer to actually write.
the audio and video were fine, nothing to complain about, but nothing awesome either.
there were no black people and it wasn't funny, so I guess the term "black comedy" means it makes use of irony and plot twists. nothing great, just average to me.
