Synopsis
This drama centers on Hank Chinaski, the fictional alter-ego of "Factotum" author Charles Bukowski, who wanders around Los Angeles, CA trying to live off jobs which don't interfere with his primary interest, which is writing. Along the way, he fends off the distractions offered by women, drinking and gambling.

It’s worth watching, artistic in a way and enjoyable. Sad but also a reflection of reality

> "I understood too well that great lovers were always men of leisure. I fucked better as a bum than as a puncher of timeclocks." Matt Dillon's character is incredible frustrating but it does resemble people I know in real life that are also tortured souls looking for their meal ticket. You can tell this was written by someone who writes novels.
