It's Kitchen Stories by Bent Hamer. I saw it by accident. I went to see his Factotum, but the distribution company sent this earlier film of his by mistake... so they just went ahead and showed it and invited us back later for Factotum. I truly loved it. (And as for Bukowski films, I much prefer Factotum to Barfly.)
The American Film Institute has a theater (tiny) in the Kennedy Center in D.C. They have a small organ below the screen and regularly had screenings of silents with a wonderful accompanist. (That's where I fell in love with Lillian Gish.) They projected them at the correct speed and, after a few, I learned how to watch them; the former stereotypes lodged in my head dissolved.
