Barfly

1h 40m · 1987 · Directed by Barbet Schroeder · 3.5 / 5 on Letterboxd

Barfly (1987) runs 1h 40m, directed by Barbet Schroeder. It is one of 3,647 films in the 100 Minute Movies catalog — every one rated 3.0 or higher by Letterboxd members and short enough to finish in an evening.

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.
