Barfly

Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.

Downtrodden writer Henry and distressed goddess Wanda aren't exactly husband and wife: they're wedded to their bar stools. But, they like each other's company—and Barfly captures their giddy, gin-soaked attempts to make a go of life on the skids.

Directed by Barbet Schroeder
