Director: Barbet Schroeder
Producer: Fred Roos, Tom Luddy, Barbet Schroeder

What Others Said
Nutshell:
Mickey Rourke shines in this offbeat comedy about a dropout drunk poet. A bit too over the top in some scenes but an ultimately satisfying and funny film. Faye Dunaway's performance stands out as well.
