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.

  • @mahatmaBit OK, baby. OK.

  • @DoctaDualist i sleep with my eyes wide shut. what poisons at night nourishes dayfire. i like relentlessness because i'm a coward. i don't drink my words.

    

  • @mahatmaBit from 1 ugly thing 2 another, "I love your relentlessness." If you dressed that indomitable spirit of yours up real slutty and got me swollen blood vessel drunk, I think we'd have a night of pure magic to be released upon itself here. In the meantime lighten up on, for the sake of the forgivably obvious innocence if anything. Some beautiful flowers out there will bloom with the scent of your poison breath, but some delicacies will immediately wither so just keep at least one eye open

  • Thank you so much for sharing all these videos. From one Bukowski fan to another, cheers.
