Bukowski in Apostrophes

[gatillaz0]

Que alguien le ponga subtitulos, por el amor de dios.

[raul34ify]

BIEN AHI!!

[Pollancre]

con subtitulos en español seria asombroso.

[jaybou007]

I also get tears of joy reading Bukowski. A shame the french versions of his books are so crappy, so transformed: as a quebecer, i'd like genuine french versions of his work. Meanwhile, I keep on reading the man's words...and I feel better.

[Ringinatin]

The funny thing was that in the days following this TV show Bukowski's books sold out in French bookshops as a result of the interest in him which this program generated.

[skrt68]

conozco a muchos escritores norteamericanos que darian la vida por estar sentados aqui , a mi la verdad no me importa mucho ........... C. Bukowski

[tero1101]

please subtitle.... maybe in german ;)

[numerrita]

Funny shit!

[Doderhultarn89]

Have they made a movie version of "Ham On Rye" If not, they sould.

[jcmangan]

Genet was the last remarkable french writer, even Sartre found out. I`d wonder if Houllebecq would claim anything else...

[mujaku]

Russian has its Pushkin—America has Bukowski.

[facistofilo]

interesante entrevista

[wojtekbev]

the french are fucking faggy. cant say anything else about them.

[Mittelmensch]

Fuck Cavanna, fuck Pivot and fuck Bukowski. They all write shit.

[ActuallyNotes]

@Mittelmensch Escribirían mierda, pero lo hacían con más acierto que tú, soplagaitas

[tobalrodo1]

ellaaaaaaaaaaa

la weona intelectual

xupalo meando

[GordonMorrice]

The translator does a great job. All others are dishonest cunts.

[TheAdultChild101]

I'm guessing this was taped around 1990. Does anybody know?

[souldice]

@TheAdultChild101

It's from 1978. Check the documentary "The ordinary madness of Charles Bukowski".

Cheers

[TheAdultChild101]

@souldice Thank you.

[jmufkinc]

These fucking frogs always think they have some edge on art. So condescending and insignificant really, Bukowski "the drunk" has done so much more than any of those clowns realize. He made so much literature and art accessible to the average man!

[fbaumans]

@jmufkinc As much as I love Bukowski's work, he was always pretty condescending himself. He said many times that most of the writers were lame and boring, and that you had to go through skid row to be a good writer and shit like that. I think he might be one of the most condescending writer of all time haha

[Theroumich]

@jmufkinc red neck

[GordonMorrice]

@jmufkinc Amen. The French are the poseurs of planet Earth. So made-up, so false, so full of lies, so ready for a fall.

[ViewtifulFlo]

@jmufkinc A frog thinks you should learn to speak french because you don't understand what happened this day (22 september 1978). There were very pleased to have Bukowski seated next to them. The man with the huge mustach, for example, says he loves Bukowski. The fact is, Bukowski was too drunk to understand Pivot's questions, he did something not very nice to the lady (you have to watch the all interview to see it) and few minutes later, he threatened someone with a knife in the backstages-ahah

[esTebanLRD]

great job!!Thanks!

[ActuallyNotes]

@esTebanLRD thank you

[ignaciopllrs]

HAHAHAHA

[furiogatos]

SUBTITLES !!!!!

[Forrest5486]

like most of you i am compelled to watch this like a hockey game between the american and french teams. this really needs a transcript. there has got to be a helpful french person reading this somewhere.

[kaosgumi]

@Forrest5486 This story has been blown out of proportion. Nobody's upset with Hank here. He was not the first nor the last drunk to appear in this very liberal and messy show. Hank got anxious and drank a full bottle of wine during make-up and another one during the show. No surprise he was not in the mood for an ear-pieced multilingual debate.

[kaosgumi]

As Bukowski leaves Tv Host asks for guys to help him walk out.

Show host [Bernard Pivot] to Hank - Ciao, au revoir, good bye!

Show host to Guy with white hair - Surprisingly, this american writer got drunk pretty quick!

Guy with white hair - You should have offered him a light wine or at least water it down.

Show Host - He came with his own bottles.

Guy with white hair - Oh, right!

[coolioto]

"you look worried" funny

[coisnich]

look at ur poor drunkun author,

here, in france, we had :

hugo, verlaine, baudelaire, and many others,

he only writes what he lived, he is everything but a decent human

[WRATHWALO]

@coisnich oh, tais toi, espece de con

[WRATHWALO]

Fuck the french....I love it when Bukowski answers "au revoir....oo-ooh" like not giving a fuck about them

[nikumuMINA]

[WRATHWALO]

@azurenscens I know what you mean...actually I told your mom the same, but she didn't get ofended....in fact she liked it!!! lol

[buffalobilly]

take one look at bukowski you can tell he's an total misfit and outsider

[arsepoetica71]

you don't have to speak French to hear the contempt. You can almost hear them thinking, "Those fucking uncouth Americans!" yet for all their gentlemanly behavior, none of them can muster his talent. HA!

[lulanne]

@arsepoetica71

you are so wrong!!! that's absolutely not what bernard pivot said!! misunderstanding again!!!

[lulanne]

@arsepoetica71 and, YES, i'm sorry but you have to be able to speak french to know what you talking about!!!

[arsepoetica71]

@lulanne

J'ai ecrit que Pivot a pensee ca, non que il a dit ca. C'est un plaisanterie.

Je parle cinq lingues, Combien parles-tu?

[arsepoetica71]

@lulanne

O si vuoi parlare Italian, io posso.

Si quieres jo puedo hablar espaniol tambien

Toi cung noi tieng Viet, nhung may vi tinh toi knong co dau

et tu sais que je parle francais.

In English, you've been owned. Piss off.

[KlausDoitschlaaand]

yeah fuck the french

[nikumuMINA]

@KlausDoitschlaaand va tfaire enculer sale boche

[carrettop]

damn the french

[mamoz75]

what a boring program! with bukowski finally got a little bit of life!

[TheMARFARADIO]

Bukowski is the real Hank Moody !

[foutupourfoutu]

I tried to translate, but maybe there's too much text and it doesn't work...

[mavlok]

@foutupourfoutu I have the whole show, it would be interesting if you'd bother to sub it in an .srt file.

[foutupourfoutu]

@mavlok Well I'm not sure my transcription is that good...

[arnaudkip]

oui putain buko!! j ai lu tous tes livres traduits en francais, rien a dire t es le meilleur! oui tu sais parler de la misere d'un putain de blanc pauvre!! je t aime!!

[ChaseChap]

somebody who is french should do the non french speaking humanity a huge favor and translate this one...

[blinkboy2008]

lol, frogs just don't get good ol' Buk

[foutupourfoutu]

@blinkboy2008 I am a frog, but THESE frogs are dull

[morrisjuan]

[mavlok]

@MrArkadyRenko you can use something like VisualSubSync, it's quite easy.

[theMAXILOPEZpsycho]

oh my god that feminist! I bed her books are a blast to read lol!

[pooputt23]

the best part is when he slurs "au revoir" back to the host

[bapyou]

<3 Bukowski LOL!

[Calatafimi]

Pivot, t'étais vraiment une pauvre merde.

[Dazzior]

He always drunk ;) like hell ;) but his books is living true ;)

[6435842]

Nemoguć a postoji. Fenomen sopstvenih simbola koji su temelj svakog drugog. On je podliv nastao ispod sunca nastao u kafani zvanoj "Život"

[ShaskaOcelot]

The host Pivot came to the show tout le monde en parle (quebec version) in Montreal last year and said that this interview was one of his favorite moment of his life (he was not mad about it, he considered Bukowski one of the greatest writer ever).

And the guy at 6:18 Cavana is still alive and he is like 85 years old.

[Calatafimi]

@ShaskaOcelot

Cavanna est un type fabuleux.

[Koalacanth]

Wish there was some translating. I'd like to know what was said.

[Damianosek27]

Lovely men:)

[mavlok]

Watch how the white-haired guy gets pissed after Buk rests on his head. Epic.

[foutupourfoutu]

@mavlok Actually he's laughing, he asks: did he have water in the glass?

-yeah but he brought his own bottle!

[plutoplatters]

@mavlok  epic.very,very epic.

[G0Dsux]

@mavlok yo lol he doesnt get pissed he just says to the host - it's your fault you had to put a fake wine or put water in it!

then the host is like - But he brought his own bottles!

not in a pissed off way :P

(btw i speak french, enjoy the translation)

[aaronamccoy]

i remember reading about this. he said he didn't remember any of it..

[blingbiscuits]

his skin looks great here.. for most of his life he had bad acne scarring.

[EllyMcCormack]

bukowski looks more french than all of them!

[mahyarmohaghegh]

the translator got fucked hahahha

he has his bottle of wine hahahhhahahahah

[Garcia42]

this is tough to watch

poor Buk, he gave it what patience he could

I have none to watch...and I love buk

wish someone could dub this

and put a muzzle on the host

[bukovoima]

Lang lebe Bukowski. Probably the best author - and most of all the poet - ever lived.

[CroixDeWotan]

tmaarud: Yes and frenchs with Lafayette help the americans for your independance against the bristish crown. Without us... Etc...

[loositude]

You criticize without understanding what they say.

France was one of the most receptive to Bukowski.

And without the French culture, the world would lose so much.

French=fail only for the uneducated and the racist.

Et moi au moins je comprends ce qui se dit.

[myfavmusicvidoes]

ive read about this interview, thanks for the upload I was imaging what it must have been and looked like and now I know thanks a lot!

[carlhobs]

is there a translation into English available.

[englishbobuk]

thanks for the upload... I have been wanting to see the whole of this for years

great stuff!

[tmaarud]

my god that french fucking faggot likes to hear his own voice...he should learn english, as should all other "know it all" assholes who were saved from the germans by the americans.

[minasgekos]

What a stupid comment.... what does WWII has to do with Bukowski???? You are pathetic.

[1SampaSampa]

I love the books of that old pissed off melonfucker

[33hegemon]

It's funny when the camera zooms in on an empty bottle of wine, wine that, presumably, he emptied during the course of the show! lol

[dogwillhuntt]

the dude interviewing is a long winded frenchy

[antitousketuveux]

pivot sale handicapé du stylo bon a rien tu n'arrivera jamais a avoir son style bukowski était trop chaud

[dubbedcrazy]

gotta love the french for appreciating henry miller, and bukowski...god bless em.  cin cin

[stellartois35]

Déjanté ? Décalé ? Alcoolique ? Non... un génie de l'écriture, et que ceux qui veulent me contredire, m'annoncent au moins un titre de ses oeuvres !!! Il ne recherchait pas le "devoir" de plaire, mais celui de créer !!!

[simtwins]

Alors etant donné que je vais critiquer et que pour cela il faut apparement citer au moins une de ces oeuvres pour donner la preuve que je parle en connaissance de cause je vais dire au hasard " Les contes de la folie ordinaire "...Maintenant je suis en "désaccord" avec vous,je ne trouve pas que le style de Bukowski soit si génial.Le message qu'il fait passer est bien amené mais son style me laisse assez froid.Après c'est une question de conception mais s'il vous plait pas de proselytisme

[drunkenstooge]

Who are the frogs on stage?

[musael22]

Pivot est vraiment nul avec ses questions à la con.

[27713bullcity]

english motherfucker

[Tobias1969]

septic tank

[chrisgower]

genius motherfucker :)

[abcjoshuasmith123]

The French critics compare you to henry Miller, basically they consider you something of a successor to Miller. Do you enjoy the comparison?

...

no, but do you consider yourself something of a solitary figure, a marginal in American literature?

...Why did you write in your journal that for you Bukowski is a big writer. -Because he is.

Yes but why?

[abcjoshuasmith123]

So I ask you, does one of the two currents have reason,

or might both currents have some reason?

...

At the core, these two currents that I speak of...?one of them think that you brining a certain realism, and that you say things that maybe

other writers don't want to say, and others say that au fond(?)/(at base?) you're the cause of scandal?

[abcjoshuasmith123]

Next to me, the American writer Charles bukowski. I have to tell you when I told people you were coming on the show there were two current's.

The first was "oh that's a great idea he's a huge writer and he speaks elogistic(?) phrases (something, names other guests...) others said you can't present this person because hes a phalocrat, a "?-sexual", a pornogrpaher, an alcoholic, he's a....in short many not so nice things.

[abcjoshuasmith123]

Very rough translation, but I think you can get the jist of what's going on from it. Begins around 2 mins (i left out buk's parts since you can her them in the background):

[dabaitu66]

don't know a lick of french but I love this shot of Buk with jerry-culrs.

[pooputt23]

the drunken "au revoir"...i love it.

[mustang66betsy]

fuck the french!

[hazardous541]

what's the truth???

[Tron1276]

this interview is sorta legendary and is mentioned in quite a few Bukowski biographies and such, so a version with SUBTITLES would be amazing...

[Snotra]

Hey Bukowski... truth is not subjective.

[donclemens]

well, then go ahead and define truth

[neyssensas]

Fantastique Bukowski qui appréciais tant le vin blanc français.

[octodor]

those French are so stupids.

[jqnus]

Shit of french ?

Stupid french ?

Fuck you .. -_-

[stevehunniford]

Stupid french cunts

[marianablue]

mind your language!

[Cadmusproject]

Great...but i dont understand shit of french

[ashburnhouse]

That's because Americans are stupid.

[Claudiomel1]

I love Bukowski!

[garghamell]

The french always lose.

[salvadorveri]

haha true french = fail

[MATAROMORIR]

Bukowski es Sileno

[rommeloton]

I find fascinating the way that even when drunk, his answers are just marvelous, deep and funny... compare Bukowski's answers with the guy of 7:20

[Toudmen]

Many people want to see that with english subtitles, that would good idea, couse french is too difficult to understand anything

[petepamf]

english sub titles would be great..

enjoyable vid!

[MisterToy]

Great great great....

[edmatper]

Bukowski was seriously drunk and couldn't stop speaking during the interview of the others guests. See the whole video, it's just an sample.

[Misantropist]

And I think he attack a security guard with a knife after that.

[sachalex]

Ever seen Star Trek, Episode 34.5???

That's the one here: Bukowski lands

on this planet Apostrophes. He's surrounded by egg-shapped human skulls & listens to

Leonard Nimoy's voice. Spock translating the

whole french ping pong scenario!
