This documentary film which took seven years of filming by the director, delves into the life of underground literary genius, Charles Bukowski. Loved and hated for his gritty, bitting, street-edgy poetry and prose Bukowski was a tortured soul. This film includes interviews and offers footage of his controversial public readings. Bukowski’s work is not for the faint of heart and one can only guess what the documentary will be like. Fan-boy flick or deep-diving documentary of one of America’s great writers, we will just have see.
