Anyone seen this? Barbet Schroeder interviewed Charles Bukowski prior to the filming of Barfly. This is a huge collection of interviews with Bukowski filmed mostly at home, with some footage of him traveling around some of his old haunts in Los Angeles. It's great stuff.

    From Wikipedia:

    'The Charles Bukowski Tapes are an altogether more than four hours long collection of 52 short-interviews with the US-American cult author Charles Bukowski, sorted by topic and each between one and ten minutes long. Director Barbet Schroeder (Single White Female) 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 parents’s house and his former neighbourhood, but the largest part of the interviews takes place in Bukowski’s flat or backyard. The documentary includes a scene in which Bukowski reacts violently toward his wife Linda Lee.'


    "An outrageously stimulating and unnerving all-night drinking session with a gutter eloquent barroom philosopher. […] One of the most intimate, revealing and unsparing glimpses any film or video has ever given us of a writer’s life and personality."

    – Michael Wilmington, The Los Angeles Times

    By the way, why can't you edit posts on this section of the pit? Why should this section be any different? Anyone know?

    What does that mean though? Due to recent abuse of this feature? People often want to edit their poems e.t.c. What 'abuse' are they referring to?
