Walter Chaw on 'Barton Fink'
from Feeling Seen · host Jordan Crucchiola, Walter Chaw, Marissa Flaxbart
Writer, film critic, and educator Walter Chaw has been writing and thinking about cinema since he was a teenager -- when he discovered how it could make him feel understood, and that saved his life. Now, he's a critic whose unapologetically personal takes on cinema makes some folks love his work, and really pisses some other folks off. Despite his artist's temperament and his expertise, Walter wants to stay in touch with the common man...just like BARTON FINK, from the Coen Brothers' classic 1991 anti-ode to the Studio System. Then, Jordan has one quick thing about some exciting June Squibb News.
