Pre-order: 88 Films

Hollywood royalty Faye Dunaway and Mickey Rourke deliver career best performances in this semi-autobiographical movie based on the life of author and poet Charles Bukowski. Set in the seediest part of LA, impoverished writer Henry (Rourke) and kept woman Wanda (Dunaway) cross paths and discover they have one thing in common, alcohol. These desperate and disparate souls drown their sorrows each night, ignoring chances which will remove them from this empty lives. Dark with a bitter aftertaste, Barfly captures the worst moments of human existence and how it can be destroyed by the love of the (not so) good stuff.
