Charles Bukowski has said that this was the best performance of his “Henry Chinaski” character yet, which shows that Bukowski’s stories translate just fine in other parts of the world. This three-act Belgian film is taken from Bukowski’s various short stories and novels and tells the story of a young man’s gradual descent from bashful romantic to self-destructive alcoholic pervert, and the story is told with the grim sense of humor and honesty that is found in the Bukowski brand. This is a great movie to watch alone, with a twelve pack of beer, or with a few bottles of wine and your favorite whore on those loneliest of nights.
