Movie Haiku:The Coen Brothers take on Hollywood in this satire about a left-wing playwright (Turturro) working on his first movie script. The more he tries to “forget his principles,” the deeper he sinks into despair. His seedy hotel crumbles around him, and friends & neighbors turn menacing. Juicy black comedy. Really!
