Factotum by Bent Hamer

Summary:

This drama centers on a jack-of-all-trades who wanders around St. Paul, MN trying to live off jobs which don't interfere with his primary interests - women, drinking, gambling and writing. Source

Review:

Interesting film adaptation of Charles Bukowski's book Factotum that is an interesting contrast to Barfly, the other film adaptation I've seen. Here Bukowski is seen more lucidly and the pacing is less brisk than Barfly - but it's very enjoyable nonetheless. If you like Bukowski or are a fan of Drugstore Cowboy era Matt Dillon and/or Lili Taylor, you'll love this film.
