The unforgettable portrait of a legendary writer for the first time on DVD

The great American writer Charles Bukowski (Tales of ordinary madness) evokes in turn in front of Barbet Schroeder's camera his obsessions with life, death, literature, women or alcohol.

Discover for the first time on DVD all of the fifty interviews that have remained invisible since their television broadcast in the 1980s. The filmmaker – who will shoot Barfly in 1987 from a script by Bukowski – manages to capture the aura of this writer bigger than life, a true genius of 20th century American literature!
