    A helluva great documentary about the tough life and strong poetry of Charles Bukowski, a type of an idolized American outcast who writes straight to the point without fear but with impressive beat and street-wisdom. Well made.

    Overall a good biopic. This documentary, like Bukowski's life and art, pulls no punches. There is no sugar coating of Bukowski here, but within the examination of this equally loved and maligned writer, we see how human he really was, despite his larger-than-life legacy.

    Charles Bukowski:

    the short poem
    like the short life
    may not be the best thing
    but generally
    it's
    easier.

    this is a short
    poem at the end
    of a
    long
    life.

    sitting here
    looking at
    you
    now

    then
    saying
    adios!

    Have you guys seen "The Charles Bukowski Tapes" by Barbet Schroeder, the director of "Barfly". This documentary is basically where "Born Into This" gets alot of it's footage.

    Charles "Buk" Bukowski is my favorite poet.
    The reading of his "Bluebird" at the end of this documentary, by his friend (actor) Harry Dean Stanton is as close to perfection of any reading I have EVER heard of anyone's poem. Just priceless.
    If you are a fan of Bukowski - you will not be disappointed by this documentary.
