Bukowski: Born Into This
Synopsis
Director John Dullaghanâs biographical documentary about infamous poet Charles Bukowski, Bukowski: Born Into This, is as much a touching portrait of the author as it is an exposĂ© of his sordid lifestyle. Interspersed between ample vintage footage of Bukowskiâs poetry readings are interviews with the poetâs fans including such legendary figures such as Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Joyce Fante (wife of John), Bono, and Harry Dean Stanton. Filmed in grainy black and white by Bukowskiâs friend, Taylor Hackford, due to lack of funding, the old films edited into this movie paint Bukowskiâs life of boozing and brawling romantically, securing Bukowskiâs legendary status.
