Synopsis

"Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must live."
Charles Bukowski

Henry Chinaski (Matt Dillon) considers himself a writer, and on occasion writes. Mostly he quests for the booze and women that sidetrack and seduce, rather than inspire greatness. When he falls for Jan (Lili Taylor), the soulful connection fails to save either from their self-destructive ways, and the relationship totters between earnest connection and reflective loathing.

With exceptional performances that capture the intoxicated journey though life and art, FACTOTUM is the story of a man living on the edge; a writer who risks everything, tries anything, and finds poetry in life's pleasure and pain.

Based on the novel by Charles Bukowski, FACTOTUM is the story of a man living on the edge, of a writer who is willing to risk everything to make sure that his life is his poetry.
