Factotum

Based on the book by Charles Bukowski, this dark comedy follows a writer, Hank, through his journey of being Bukowski's alter-ego.

The two most interesting thing about it:

1) A factotum is someone who performs a variety of jobs
and
2) The Norwegian director, Bent Hamer, also made one of my favorite films that we saw in 2004, Kitchen Stories.

Lili Taylor, whom I love, is in it but overall it misses the mark.
