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 (via Box Office Mojo), it was a critical hit and landed the directing duo the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Though the Coens would create more popular and accessible art in the future, Barton Fink was an undeniable representation of their filmmaking style.
