The Great Entertainer - Charles Bukowski
Charles Bukowski kicking and cursing out his soon to be fiancé. 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.
