Factotum
Grade: A-

Norwegian director Bent Hamer (Kitchen Stories) turns his lens on the seamy underbelly of America in this funny and gritty adaptation of Charles Bukowski’s 1975 novel. Matt Dillon delivers a brilliant and unsettling performance as a boozer, gambler and struggling writer who bungles his way through a series of volatile relationships and degrading odd jobs. Lili Taylor has her best film role in ages as his unstable girlfriend, and Marisa Tomei makes a brief but memorable appearance as a floundering femme fatale.
