The first comprehensive documentary of Charles 'Hank' Bukowski (1920-1994). The film traces his extraordinary life, from an abusive childhood through decades of poverty and alcoholism; numerous menial jobs and turbulent relationships; through 14 years as a postal employee; and his eventual international celebrity as a poet, novelist and underground cult icon.
Director John Dullaghan spent seven years researching and shooting 'Bukowski: Born Into This', conducting dozens of interviews with relatives, neighbours, girlfriends and other poets as well as better-known friends like Bono and Sean Penn.
This beautifully crafted documentary peels of the hardened mask of the mythic Bukowski to reveal the insecure, loving and extremely human man and the artist underneath. Here is the story about an extraordinary man who had a message that no matter how difficult or how long the odds, make the most of your life and follow your talents.
About the Director
John Dullaghan started out as a copywriter for Suzuki, and spent more than 15 years in the advertising industry, where he won numerous international awards for writing commercial and print campaigns for Apple Computer. He also worked on an IBM image film with Errol Morris. While in New York for the IBM film, John blindly contacted Albert Maysles upon learning that his office was only a few blocks from where the film was shooting. Albert warmly received him and over the next few months, John would drop by and ask questions about the documentary art. Maysles lent John his films, and their tape-recorded discussions about how they were made formed the basis for John's education in documentary filmmaking. Bukowski: Born Into This is his first feature film. He lives in Southern California with his family.
Approximate Running Time: 113 minutes
