Barfly
1987 · Film · 100 min
Directed by Barbet Schroeder
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.

I’m not a fan of everything Bukowski wrote, but I wouldn’t try to censor him so that little Jimmy could read it, and I liked the movie Barfly.
Similarly, I’m not a fan of everything Linus wrote, but I wouldn’t enforce bad CS101 code on him so that little Jimmy could read it, and I like Linux.
If you're not familiar with Bukowski and want a quick glimpse, the film Barfly, starring Mickey Rourke is highly entertaining
