Daily Dialogue — March 1, 2020

“LOOK UPON ME! I’LL SHOW YOU THE LIFE OF THE MIND!!!”

— Barton Fink (1991), written by Joel Coen, Ethan Coen

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Coen Brothers.

Trivia: The first film to win all three major awards (Palme D’or, Best Director, and Best Actor) at the Cannes Film Festival. Also, it was unanimously chosen for the Palme D’or.

Dialogue On Dialogue: A ironic callback to this side from Barton earlier: “I gotta tell you, the life of the mind… There’s no roadmap for that territory… And exploring it can be painful.”
