Factotum

Drama A man is determined to live life to the fullest, even if it means taking many jobs, loving many women and rejecting every part of the American dream.
Media Author Review
United States
LA Weekly
"An acidly funny work (...) In his finest performance since 'Drugstore Cowboy,' Dillon plays Chinanski with funereal grandiosity"
United States
Los Angeles Times
"The result is a surprisingly satisfying film, true to Bukowski and itself"
United States
ReelViews
"After a while, 'Factotum' surrenders to monotony and only the performances are likely to retain the viewer's interest."
United States
San Francisco Chronicle
"A grim and sometimes funny examination of life on the margins and of a singular artist's world" 
United States
The Hollywood Reporter
"Matt Dillon is pitch-perfect as Bukowski's alter ego Hank Chinaski"
United States
Chicago Reader
"Despite some fine black comedy, this hovers uncertainly between the novel's tragic precision and 'Barfly's' existential burlesque"
United States
"Each scene stumbles onto a detail of inspired absurdity or a crunchy bite of dialogue that encapsulates Chinaski's weird flavor of self-destruction"
