Factotum

Introduced by Hamer and producer Christine Walker Based on the writings of Beat poet Charles Bukowski and shot in Minneapolis, Factotum follows Hank Chinaski (played in charmingly gruff style by Matt Dillon) on a string of often drunken adventures. He is fired from one menial job after another and still manages to write, hoping to be published. Taylor’s performance as his smart, tough girlfriend showcases her ability to create a bold, complex character. 2005, U.S., color, 35mm, 132 minutes.
