Review: Factotum

Take this job and shove it. And this job. And this job, too. Matt Dillon gives a wonderfully understated performance as Charles Bukowski's alter ego in Factotum, a deadpan literary adaptation/biopic about the hard-living writer. Lili Taylor slings pancakes in her bra and Marisa Tomei, Adrienne Shelly and Karen Young co-star as a trio of drunken floozies. Factotum, directed by Bent Hamer, opens today. Read Jürgen's review.
