Brilliant. Love films about barflies, dunno why. No real story to it, just Buscemi pottering through life.
Great cast. Loads of familiar faces from the Sopranos, Goodfellas, The Wire, Samuel L Jackson’s in it, Chloe Sevigny.
Good soundtrack aswell. Quite a cool Mascis-y outro track.
9/10.
Seen it?
Steve Buscemi’s directorial debut. I don’t remember feeling great after watching it but I do remember thinking it was good.
Have you seen Barfly or Factotum? Both adaptations of Charles Bukowski novels.
Great film. Buscemi should direct more films. He does a lot of TV directing these days but it’s been a long time since he’s done a movie.
Watched it with the lads, round Dave’s house, back in the day. Not what was required that night.
That’s a task even I couldn’t complete.
Nah, I just find it difficult to re-watch films unless I’m specifically showing it to someone else. Sat on my lonesome I’d never rewatch a film these day. I genuinely don’t know why.
I’m the same really, it just feels like a “waste” to rewatch something when there’s so many amazing films i haven’t seen yet. It’s a stupid mindset really, as most good films will gain a lot from a second viewing, new layers you didn’t appreciate before.
But still, can’t help how you feel.
Seen it and love it, for the very reasons that you state.
A slacker classic to use Generation X parlance.

Yes, I saw it at the flicks.
I liked it. Driver is good as is his co-star. It’s very slight and it’s got that quirky feel that some will like and others won’t.
I didn’t pay to see it, might not have felt that it was worth £12 or whatever the ticket price was.
