About this product

Product Information

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.

    Drunk Comedy Excellent Dialogue

    Henry and Wanda are two barflies living on the skids. The two of them form a quirky romance. Ultimately, Henry has to decide if he will take the high life over the low life when a sexy editor shows up to buy one of his stories. I forgot what great dialogue this movie has. Usually stories about career drunks are depressing, but Barfly is definitely a comedy. Henry (Mickey Rourke) and Wanda (Faye Dunaway) complement each other perfectly and lend their own brand of situational humor to the mix. Other characters, such as the older "lady of the night" and the disgruntled lady who makes bitter comments at the end of the bar, support the cast and add to the laughs. This story is somewhat based on the life of poet Charles Bukowski. Henry's character is sloppy, battered and gross, yet ...

    I Love This Film and Love to Watch It Again and Again!

    I first saw this film when it was on rotation on one of the movie channels (back when I still watched TV) and it caught my interest. I finally rented the VHS of it and watched it several times and seem to like it more every time I watch it. This is a WELL MADE movie with topnotch actors and acting and a GREAT script -- and yet it is very unlike "the same old same old" Hollywood movie. I read that Rourke didn't bathe for at least a month before acting in the film, and I believe it. It was so realistic. What surprised me the most was that I could enjoy watching such skid row type bums -- and I mean REALLY enjoy it. I loved the sense of humor of the character that Rourke played. I have read that the author Bukowski who actually wrote the screenplay (and this was indeed based on his own ...

    BARFLY * MICKEY ROURKE*FAYE DUNAWAY *NEW DVD

    THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER MADE FOR ANY PERSON WHO APRECIATES CHARLES BUKOWSKI. MICKY ROURKE'S PERFORMANCE IS STUNNING...YOU FORGET WHO HE IS AND ARE ABSORBED RIGHT INTO THE CHARACTER AS IS HE. START TO FINISH A SLICE OF REALITY IN THE UNDEBELLY BARFLY L.A. WORLD THAT TRULY EXISTS. I HAVE RAISED MANY A GLASS TO THIS MOVIE WITH ALL MY FRIENDS. MAYBE I HAVE SEEN IT TOO MANY TIMES BUT IT IS INTERGRATED INTO MY VIEW OF LIFE, AND THE HARD TIME I PERSONALLY HAVE BEEN THRU...EASILY RELATED TO. I SIMPLY LOVE IT...DOZENS OF PHILOSOPHICAL ONE LINERS SUITABLE FOR EVERY DAY USE.

    Barfly

    I watched Barfly when it was released around 1987. It's one of the most well put together movies ever made. A person needs the intelligence to absorb or 'live' the movie while watching to really understand how deep it is, otherwise it might seem simple or B class. The cast is Stellar, the acting is top notch, the story is one of a kind as movies go, uncommon as life goes .
