Fink’s a lot
Saturday afternoon, nothing worth watching on telly, so what better than to slip a silver disc into the player and enjoy an hour or two of cinematic wonder. That’s what I thought, anyway. The chosen movie (Barton Fink (1991)) divided the camp somewhat. I found it a thought-provoking, gorgeous piece of cinema. The Divine P (my good lady) thought it was ‘a bloody weird movie’. She has a point, although were I to use her critique, it wouldn’t occupy a lot of space.
