**Screenwriters**: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen **Producers**: Ethan Coen, Graham Place One of the darkest of Joel and Ethan Coen’s catalogue of brilliant dark comedies, *Barton Fink* is one of the best and strangest retellings of the classic era of Hollywood with monumental performances by John Turturro and John Goodman. Barton Fink is a young New York playwright with a bright future in bleak drama on the Great White Way, when his agent lands him a deal in Hollywood. Adrift in a world of wheelers and dealers, Barton strikes up an acquaintance with his neighbor at his tenement hotel and learns the dark truths of his favorite author and the real way Hollywood works behind the scenes. With some of the best sound design in the history of cinema, remarkable period set design, and a magnificent balance of unnerving bleakness and humor, *Barton Fink* ranks amongst the Coen’s greatest achievements. **Picks from the Video Store** There’s so much to love about John Turturro! Take home decades worth of stellar performances like these deep cuts tonight! *Fear X, The Source, Monkeybone* **Accessibility Options**: Amplified Audio, please see the box office for devices.
