The Great Entertainer - Charles Bukowski
Charles Bukowski kicking and cursing out his soon to be fiancĂ©. The moment where he mocks her is pure comic gold! Also, listen for when the director says “uh-oh”.

Chinaski was my role model.
Buk left us way too soon.
I meet Buk after a reading in Chicago. I asked him how he got by from day to day? ( booze?) Buk said, “one candy bar a day”.
Take it or leave it, but I must say this video really shocked me. I am not sure if Buk
staged this or not, in my gut I feel it is real. My wife and I almost got in a fight , feeling the devilish vibes. It was like watching the 16mm film of Himmler’s wedding filmed by Eva Braun, evil just poured out of the celluloid.
This video is a disappointment for me because with Buk since the 70s. I guess after reading his most recent bio, how Buk totaled Ferlingettes apartment in San Francisco, getting in a fight with the same lady, it is believable. I believe what a angry person Buk was. His father used to beat the shit out of him, he was ughly as a fucking mule, hence, the world beat the shit out of him. His only way out was writing. At first booze soothed Buk, in the end it ate him alive.
I meant to say I have been a fan of Buk since the 70s
I always considered Bukowski to be a nasty-ass troll.
