The film is a semi-autobiography of poet/author Charles Bukowski during the time he spent drinking heavily in Los Angeles, and it presents Bukowski's alter ego Henry Chinaski.  The screenplay, written by Bukowski, was commissioned by the French film director Schroeder, and it was published (with illustrations by the author) in 1984, when film production was still pending.

Factotum is a 2005 French-Norwegian drama film co-written and directed by Bent Hamer, adapted from the 1975 novel of the same name by Charles Bukowski.  It stars Matt Dillon as Bukowski’s alter ego, Henry Chinaski.  Although events in the book take place in Los Angeles in the 1940s, the film has a contemporary setting. Henry Charles "Hank" Chinaski is the literary alter ego of the American writer Charles Bukowski, appearing in five of Bukowski's novels, a number of his short stories and poems, and in the films "Barfly" and "Factotum".  Although much of Chinaski's biography is based on Bukowski's own life story, the Chinaski character is still a literary creation that is constructed with the veneer of what the writer Adam Kirsch calls "a pulp fiction hero."  Works of fiction that feature the character include "Confessions of a Man Insane Enough to Live With the Beasts" (1965), "Post Office" (1971), "South of No North" (1973), "Factotum" (1975), "Women" (1978), "Ham on Rye" (1982), "Hot Water Music" (1983), "Hollywood" (1989), and "Septuagenarian Stew" (1990).  He is also mentioned briefly in the beginning of Bukowski's last novel, "Pulp".
