Though it won several major awards, Barton Fink was one of the Coen brothers' most divisive films and its ending left a lot of questions.
Perhaps the Coen brothers' most divisive film, 1991's Barton Fink was stuffed with symbolism and its ending left a lot of questions. Hot on the heels of the Coens' earlier successes like 1987's Raising Arizona, Barton Fink was an analysis of art itself, and the divide between highbrow and lowbrow entertainment. Though it was a financial failure, grossing only $6 million , it was a critical hit and landed the directing duo the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
Suddenly, the building was engulfed in flame and Mundt murdered the two detectives with a shotgun before informing Barton that he had visited his family in New York. Fink attempted to call his family members but received no answer. Fink then arrived at his meeting with the studio heads, and this script was torn apart for being too sentimental. He was then informed that he would remain under contract, but that his work would never be produced unless he could improve.
Mundt's killing of Audrey could have been chalked up to simple malice, but Mundt's murders afterward seemed to suggest a pattern. Upon their first meeting, it looked like Barton and Charlie were to be one of the great duos of the Coen brothers' films, but Barton was rude and dismissive of Charlie and that could possibly be the origin of Mundt's rage.
What Did The Woman In The Picture Symbolize? Popular Coen brothers movies like O Brother, Where Art Thou? had hidden details, and the directing duo often packed their films with symbolism and allusions to other artistic works. Though not always overt, Barton Fink was filled with symbols and one of the most consistent was the framed image of the woman on the beach in Barton's hotel room.
