	Directors: John Turturro
		The film is not only autobiographical (apparently the narrative represents actual experiences in the life of Turturro's father), but metaphorical as well, with Turturro's Niccolo Vitelli fleeing bad leadership (skimping contractor / bad film director) to strike out on his own (Turturro as contractor / his own film director and writer).
		Turturro's admirable ambition, however, has gotten him in over his head.
		Cribbed, mauled, and rendered nonsensical, Turturro and Brandon Cole, his co-writer here and in Mac, manufacture a paean to the world of acting that would naturally attract a big and interesting cast such as the one Turturro collects.

		Turturro, whose career started off, portentously enough, with a one-line role as Man at Table in Raging Bull, came to the public's attention in '89 as Pino, the squealing and hilarious bigot in Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing.
		Lee lured Turturro into another less visible but almost as unfortunate cameo nine years later, convincing him to provide the voice for the talking dog in Summer of Sam, in a scene that is probably one of the ten stupidest and most ill-advised and ludicrous in film history, not including all of Nick of Time.
		Turturro has a large, showcase role, and the film, besides being a lot of fun, serves as a potent reminder that the world -- or, at least, the film world -- while still far from a Platonic ideal, is a much better place when there's more John Turturro in it.

		Part of John Turturro is always missing when he is acting, even when he is at his most intense.
		Turturro first got serious about getting behind the camera in the early 1990s on the set of Barton Fink, which took him from bit parts as an Italian neighborhood guy to a starring role in a vexing character study.
		Turturro didn't stray far for the shoot, as he did for Mac, which starred his brother, Nicholas Turturro, or Illuminata.

	Profile: John Turturro
		John Turturro is an unusual looking man and an unusual actor.
		One of Turturro's most-loved and colourful roles was as the ostentatious, purple jumpsuit clad ten-pin bowler Jesus Quintana in the Coen Brothers The Big Lebowski.
		John Turturro most likely won't be playing any romantic Hollywood leads in the foreseeable future, but expect to see him cast over and over again in movies by the world's most challenging and seminal directors.

	iFMagazine.com Reviews - Illuminata (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		John Turturro's sophomore directorial effort is an ambitious though flawed film about the nature of love and the blurred lines between real life and theatrical life.
		The point of the film is that it's supposed to be a complete mess, but Turturro doesn't yet have the talent to pull off the pace and mood of the various subplots nor tie them together as a Jean Renoir (who's an obvious inspiration) would.
		The way the film balances theatrical reality with reality is indeed interesting, but after a while Turturro seems to be hitting the wrong key again and again and expecting the audience to enjoy it.

	Salon Arts & Entertainment \| "Illuminata" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Turturro stars as Tuccio, a frustrated young playwright married to Rachel (Katherine Borowitz, Turturro's real-life spouse), the manager and star of a large and rather sloppy troupe of actors.
		But the script by Turturro and his friend and collaborator Brandon Cole (adapted from Cole's stage play) is really set in an almost abstract backstage reality; it's somewhere between Shakespeare's time and our own, and that's what matters.
		Turturro is already one of our finest actors and, on this evidence, looks like a director of impressive range, prodigious human sympathy and unlimited potential.

	'Barton Fink'
		Turturro holes up in a seedy hotel only to find acute writer's block, his muse taunted by wallpaper that oozes gloop and a kitschy beach painting of a woman looking out to sea.
		Turturro's Hollywood experience includes amusing, ego-bruising conferences with Lerner (a dead ringer for Louis B. Mayer), his flunky Jon Polito and jaded producer Tony Shalhoub.
		But Turturro's most significant relationship is with hotel neighbor John Goodman, a bulky insurance salesman with boorish but endearing ways.

		John Turturro (Miller's Crossing, Jungle Fever) plays the title character, a pretentious left-wing writer from New York City who is brought to 1930s Hollywood to write a script for a wrestling movie for palooka actor Wallace Beery.
		John Turturro is terrific as the introverted, tightly wound, pretentious, and neurotic Fink, who in Hollywood, away from the womb of the Great White Way, is like a lamb led to the slaughter.
		John Mahoney is excellent as the Faulknerian-like writer, and Judy Davis outdoes herself, as the self-sacrificing Audrey Taylor.

	The John Turturro Shrine - Interviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Normally, the Coen brothers write roles exclusively for John Turturro, whether it be Barton Fink, or the madcap Jesus Quintana in The Big Lebowski.
		Turturro has worked with the best - Spike Lee, Martin Scorcese and Peter Weir to name a few, which puts him in a perfect position to put his finger on what makes the Coens different.
		According to Turturro, the most gratifying thing about working with the Coens is an actor’s effort is never wasted “I don’t think I’ve ever had a scene (maybe just a really small one in Barton Fink) cut out a movie — that’s really rare.

	Barton Fink Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The movie starts off simply enough, however once John Turturro (Barton Fink) moves in to hell to write scripts for movie companies, the film follows the same path the hit TV series "Twin Peaks" took after the first season.
		John Turturro also does a very good job, though not as energetic, as his character acts like me in the morning.
		Turturro brilliantly portrays his vision of Barton Fink as a quiet and often collected man who feels no emotions toward the cold world around him.

		It took Turturro 12 years to put that movie together, yet it was unable to find more than a limited art house audience.
		The same is primarily true of Turturro, who, despite having the most screen time, readily allows others to steal scenes from him.
		Turturro plays this as a sex farce, and, for the most part, he gets the rhythm right.
