The Bukowski Tapes - 1987 - 5/10

Accurate rating if you are going Buko -- wha?
If you are a hardcore Bukowski fan, however, then bump this to a 7.
Long series of interviews by director Barbet Schroder done around the time he filmed Barfly, ostensibly by and about the skid row poet of Los Angeles.
Bukowski rambles at length on varying topics: inferior peers, smog, alcohol versus marijuana, the horses, crazy women, his gradual fame, the meaningless of life, ugly people, shallow people, futility. At times insightful, other times nonsense, drunkard warbling.
Favorite bit was watching him drive about the old neighborhood in an open convertible, pointing out landmarks, telling stories.
Most infamous bit was him getting physically violent with girlfriend (later wife), Linda, and cameras turning off.
