## Description

Product description          Based on a semiautobiographical short story by poet and screenwriter Charles Bukowksi and directed by Barbet Schroeder, BARFLY offers insight into the world of the alcoholic, where all that matters is the next drink. Henry Chinaski (Mickey Rourke) is a talented writer of prolific prose; unfortunately, he's also a skid-row alcoholic with a violent temper. He picks fights nightly with Eddie (Frank Stallone), the bartender at the local watering hole the Golden Horn and lives in a seedy tenement, stealing food and trying to scrape together enough money for booze. Fellow alcoholic Willa Wilcox (Faye Dunaway) catches Henry's eye at the bar one afternoon, and although she has a reputation for being unstable, the two embark on a relationship with each other and the bottle. Their liaison is full of drama, humor, and irrational behavior; it is put to the test when Henry meets Tully (Alice Krige), a rich, privileged literary editor who wants to publish his stories and save him from himself. The film features exceptional performances from Rourke and Dunaway as they portray the highs and lows that are part and parcel of alcoholism--as well as love.             .com          The script for this movie was written by outrageous poet-author-alcoholic Charles Bukowski. But director Barbet Schroeder makes it into an oddly amusing story of a pugnacious drunk writer (Mickey Rourke) based on Bukowski himself. Rourke spends almost all of his time at the bar, struggling with sobriety (he's against it) and, occasionally, having fistfights with the bartender (Frank Stallone). He meets another souse, a formerly attractive woman (Faye Dunaway), and gets involved with her, which means they drink copious amounts of liquor and try to have sex. Not much happens beyond that, yet this film is strangely entertaining, for all of its bottom-of-the-barrel humanity. Maybe that's the secret: "Oh, the humanity...." --Marshall Fine

    Underrated classic
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2022*

This movie is great - it's like a running soundtrack to Tom Wait's "Heart of Saturday Night" album as written and directed by Charles Bukowski. This movie has a bit of a 'Big Lebowski' feel to it, though the movies are nothing alike.Some highlights include:- Frank Stallone as the masculine 'pretty boy' bartender in a dive bar- Frank Stallone and Mickey Rourke absolutely hating on each other- Sandy Martin- Faye Dunaway as Rourke's crazy drunk love interest. Their dynamic is entertaining- Dunaway and Rourke's living arrangements/neighbors- seeing a billboard for Spaceballs- seeing the LA area in that era and how different it's becomeThis is a fun movie to watch, especially with a drink - it helps you understand and appreciate the mood of it all.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not for everyone but an excellent movie
  

*by C***T on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2022*

Charles Bukowski was undoubtedly one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. He was a bum who lived on the streets of LA. The main character of this movie is Henry Chinaski, who is Bukowski's alter ego and is the main character of his works. Faye Dunaway is his love interest in this bizarre take on the Days of Wine and Roses. Not for everyone but it is an interesting peek into the lives of the homeless and into the mind of Charles Bukowski.
