Plot
A playwright in Hollywood.
Sinekatalog’s take
The Coens' Hollywood nightmare traps a playwright in a mouldering hotel and his own head. Turturro and John Goodman are terrific, and the film's blend of satire, horror and writer's block is unforgettable.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
