Charles Bukowski - Born Into This (2003, full documentary)

Charles Bukowski original reading poster (#charlesbukowski #poetry)

An original reading poster I found here in Melbourne. Like the matchbooks I found the other day, this is a rare find, especially for this town.

The poster reads:

'"Poet satyr of today's underground - Henry Miller"

CHARLES

"Sexual Intercourse is kicking death in the ass while singing"

BUKOWSKI

world-famed poet, critic and story-teller

whose notes of a dirty old man so far has sold 250,000 copies, & whose all the asholes in the world & mine berserked the establishment to billy-club screams of out rage - likewise his 16 other books, and 2000 poems in 191 "little" magazines and underground newspapers

WILL READ

The Charles Bukowski Tapes

(number 1 of 52, see below. thanks to vekoja for uploading.)


From the video description:"The Charles Bukowski Tapes are a collection of short-interviews with the American writer/poet Charles Bukowski, filmed and assembled by Barbet Schroeder and first published in 1987 in the USA. Today, the video documentary is considered a cult classic.

The Charles Bukowski Tapes are an altogether more than four hours long collection of 52 short-interviews with the American cult author Charles Bukowski, sorted by topic and each between one and ten minutes long. Director Barbet Schroeder (Barfly) interviews Bukowski about such themes as alcohol, violence, and women, and Bukowski answers willingly, losing himself in sometimes minute-long monologues. Amongst other things, Bukowski leads the small camera team through his parentss house and his former neighbourhood, but the largest part of the interviews takes place in Bukowskis flat or backyard. The documentary includes a scene in which Bukowski reacts violently toward his wife Linda Lee.

The documentary was assembled from about 64 hours of film footage, which accrued during the three-year lead time for Schroeders motion picture Barfly, for which Bukowski wrote the autobiographical script."
