Didier Flamand

Isaach De Bankolé (Night on Earth), Giulia Boschi (Notte italiana) and François Cluzet (The Intouchables) star in this 1988 Palme d'Or-nominated drama from filmmaking great Claire Denis.

Bukowski's embarrassingly honest, beatnik, solipsist, alcohol fuelled novel Factotum (n., an employee or assistant who serves in a wide range of capacities). Unpublished but undeterred, Chinaski (Matt Dillon) poetically and prolifically lurches through a succession of dead-end jobs to meet his minimal requirements: getting drunk, getting ladies and gambling at the track.
