Watched Barton Fink yesterday. I wasn't sure what to expect; all I knew about it beforehand was that it involved a murder. The film is extremely quiet and tense, and the murder doesn't happen until about halfway through the film, so I couldn't relax at all! Not my ideal movie-watching experience.
Nevertheless, I think I enjoyed the film. Typical Coens brother mix of macabre and funny. John Turturro does a great job, and John Goodman was pretty good (although he always annoys me a little bit; I can't really explain why).
The film didn't really make a lot of sense, but for some reason that didn't really bother me. Perhaps because Wikipedia told me that it's not supposed to.
