not sure about this one...

Factotum n. a man who performs many jobs. So reads the white-on-black text at the beginning of this movie adaptation of the first novel in Charles Bukowski's Factotum trilogy, in a sense a self-parody as it looks at an author struggling for work, acceptance, success and personal fulfilment.

The main character goes by the name of Henry (Hank) Chinaski, a slow moving loner played by Matt Dillon who drifts from one job to another, aided usually by alcohol related dismissal. He also lurches from one woman to another, though one face keeps turning up on his list of conquests, that of Jan (Lili Taylor), with whom he strikes not only an obviously sexual connection but an emotional one too.

Chinaski gets through jobs quicker than you or I would hot dinners - in fact the only other thing he does quickly is drink beer. Or spirits. For this film doesn't just smell of alcohol, it reeks of it. You can't wash it out of your soul for hours afterwards.
