Barfly

(1987) dir Barbet Schroeder w/Mickey Rourke, Faye Dunaway, Alice Krige, Jack Nance [100 min; 35mm]

No one shot neon like Robby Müller and the neon seems like the only bright, colorful spots in the sleazy world of Hollywood dive bars that Henry Chinaski (Rourke) inhabits. A drunk by trade and a writer by vocation, Henry is based on both the character and the works of Charles Bukowski – one of America’s last great barroom poets.

 A "Double Feature" ticket additionally allows admission into the 9:30 PM screening of 24 HOUR PARTY PARTY PEOPLE. No additional purchase is necessary.
