The Charles Bukowski Tapes: Number 52 Part 2

The Charles Bukowski Tapes are a collection of short-interviews with the American writer/poet Charles Bukowski, filmed and assembled by Barbet Schroeder and first published in 1987 in the USA. Today, the video documentary is considered a cult classic.

The Charles Bukowski Tapes are an altogether more than four hours long collection of 52 short-interviews with the American cult author Charles Bukowski, sorted by topic and each between one and ten minutes long. Director Barbet Schroeder (Barfly) interviews Bukowski about such themes as alcohol, violence, and women, and Bukowski answers willingly, losing himself in sometimes minute-long monologues. Amongst other things, Bukowski leads the small camera team through his parentss house and his former neighbourhood, but the largest part of the interviews takes place in Bukowskis flat or backyard. The documentary includes a scene in which Bukowski reacts violently toward his wife Linda Lee.

The documentary was assembled from about 64 hours of film footage, which accrued during the three-year lead time for Schroeders motion picture Barfly, for which Bukowski wrote the autobiographical script.

@jcmangan: I think there's an uncredited second interviewer. "Joe" has an American accent when he speaks, whereas Barbet has a thick French accent. I don't know who this "Joe" is, though.

[jcmangan]

One thing I couldn`t get until the end of this fantastic serial is, why does he call Barbet "Joe" all the time? Somebody gotta a hint?

Before you might get crazy about the "anti-black-statement" please realize that Bukowski worked for over a decade with mostly black colleagues in his nightshift at the post office and got along with them very well.
