That theater was soon after converted into a three-screen venue, but when I saw Barton Fink, it was still HUGE! <br /><br />I saw it during the day and there were only two or three people in the theater. Despite all that space and the lack of crowds, Barton Fink made me feel very claustrophobic, confined, the walls of that awful awful hotel room were closing in and I could hardly breathe at times. I almost left the theater. I think I stood up and walked around in the aisles for a few minutes before sitting down again.<br /><br />The only other time that happened to me in a theater was when The Bride was buried alive in Kill Bill, Volume 2, and that was in a packed theater for a midnight show the day it opened.<br /><br />(It also happened to me when I saw Repulsion, but I was watching it on cable in my crumbly Hollywood apartment.)
