The 50 best films about writers, ranked

[Heikki Raudaskoski]

A good one, Kai.

I haven't seen #1 either, would love to. Barton Fink, yes, but I'm quite
surprised to see Wilder's The Lost Weekend (1945) missing from the list
completely as I think it's on a par with BF. And, the photo accompanying
Godard's Contempt is from Truffaut's Day for Night... Whick makes this
European elitist realize that Godard's Moravia adaptation is the best
fílm in the lot.
