Barfly (1987)
Director: Barbet Schroeder
Writer: Charles Bukowski
Stars: Mickey Rourke, Faye Dunaway, Alice Krige
A film about drink and genius. Based on Bukowski's life but I can smell Behan, Van Gough, and Francis Bacon off it as well. Faye Dunaway is amazing and Rourke keeps up the standard. The opening and closing scenes always make me smile.
