Audience Member Brilliant interviews. From Bukowski reading poetry, telling stories to kicking his girlfriend, this is engrossing. I would say it's for Bukowski fans only, but some people who have no clue who he is could dig it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I love watching this fart-smelling wetbrain talk. I'm not fond of his poetry, but I do love drunks. He reminds me of my dad. It's especially funny to watch him scream at and kick his then-girlfriend (and I assume, current estate executor). Seriously, for a star fucker, how can you get any lower than Bukowski? She was asking for it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A Christmas classic surely, better than "Barfly" or "Factotum". You love to hate this man or you hate to love him, or you just love or hate him, either way, it´s all pointless. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member this made his litarature a lot more pesonal but no less funny in a chaotic manner... a MUST for any Bukowski reader... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member what a strange and wonderful man Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
