nutshell
Mickey Rourke shines in this offbeat comedy about a dropout drunk poet. A bit too over the top in some scenes but an ultimately satisfying and funny film. Faye Dunaway's performance stands out as well.

Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.
Downtrodden writer Henry and distressed goddess Wanda aren't exactly husband and wife: they're wedded to their bar stools. But, they like each other's company—and Barfly captures their giddy, gin-soaked attempts to make a go of life on the skids.
