Downtrodden writer Henry (Mickey Rourke) and distressed goddess Wanda (Faye Dunaway) 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.
American original and poet/novelist extraordinaire Charles Bukowski drew upon his own life to script this story that tickles and jabs the social underbelly of booze, bars and brave madness... and eventually forces Henry to choose between life as a literary lion or freewheeling alley cat. Barbet Schroeder (Murder by Numbers, Reversal of Fortune) directs this "classic one of a kind comedy" (Vincent Canby, The New York Times).

"I need some Fuel" Rourke rules! - 3.75 out of 5 (12/22/2002)
He may be the quintessential(sp?) bad boy of Hollywood but fortunately we don't have to deal so much with that and for those of us who are Rourke fans he is a pleasure to watch on the screen. Rourke and Faye Dunaway feed off each other well in this movie. What a pair indeed and a must have for my Mickey Rourke collection.
