Irgendwo in einer heruntergekommenen Gegend von Los Angeles sitzt Gelegenheitspoet Henry in einer Bar und betrinkt sich. Jeden Abend verfolgt er ein immer gleiches Ritual. Henry trinkt, schreibt an seinen Gedichten, trinkt weiter, fängt Streit an und prügelt sich. So landet Henry regelmäßig im hohem Bogen auf der Straße. Eines Tages entdeckt er am anderen Ende des Tresens Wanda, ebenfalls eine Trinkerin wie Henry, und dennoch eine Klassefrau. Als der Trunkenbold seine letzten Dollars für Fusel ausgegeben hat, bittet Wanda ihn zu sich nach Hause. (Verleiher-Text)

"Štamgast" is definitely not a movie for me. I am more interested in Charles Bukowski in book form, but when you look at it, I don't really feel like this is something I would want to watch. Mickey Rourke obviously enjoys his role and is great alongside Faye. The same goes for her, but Mickey stands out here.

I like Bukowski's poetics, I like the lifestyle of the layabout and so I have almost all words of praise for Barfly. The actors representing the social underbelly are well chosen, and so in my opinion the only weakness is the one that should have been the biggest trump card, I can't help but think Mickey Rourke overacts a lot. Still, you have to like his character of a barroom lout who imposes almost noble, aristocratic elements on his loafing. But Faye Dunaway, what a great surprise! She’s flawless. Not only is she a good actress, but she somehow shines through without pounds of make-up and you can see that she is still a beautiful woman despite her age. But you know what? Sod this bollocks! Let’s go for a drink.
