Directed by Joel Coen • 1991 • United States
Starring John Turturro, John Goodman, Judy Davis
The Coen brothers’ darkly surreal journey through 1940s Hollywood casts John Turturro as the titular, Clifford Odets–esque New York playwright who moves to LA to work as a screenwriter for Capitol Pictures and finds himself sucked into the nightmare side of the dream factory as he contends with creative block and a series of increasingly hallucinatory and disturbing events. Winner of the Palme d’Or, Best Director, and Best Actor awards at Cannes, this enigmatic black-comic odyssey moves through a series of audacious narrative and tonal shifts that only the Coens could orchestrate with such assuredness.
