For brilliant, but dissipated, alcoholic poet Henry Chinaski (Mickey Rourke), life was spent caroming through L.A.'s dark underbelly in search of the next drink and an attentive ear. While he may have found a soul mate in the just as dissolute Wanda (Faye Dunaway), their bond is threatened when he and his work catch the eye of an interested publisher (Alice Krige). Barbet Schroeder’s mesmerizing rendering of Charles Bukowski’s autobiographical screenplay co-stars Jack Nance, Frank Stallone. 99 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
