    The extras sound good. It makes me think there's enough people and information out there to make half a dozen documentaries. The older the people who knew him get, the more we stand to lose, personal history-wise. It's good to get it all down while most of the principals are still alive and kicking.

    on Amazon France the DVD is available, but no info as to the subtitles, extras, etc.
    http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/AS...8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/402-1644190-8247310

    more info on the French release:

    I can't read French, but it seems to be the 90m version with French subtitles only!
    as a bonus, they throw in the full Apostrophes episode. I doubt this will be included in the US version.

    contents of the second DVD:
    L'émission "Apostrophes" avec Bukowski (1990) EN INTÉGRALITÉ !



    Retour à East Hollywood avec Taylor Hackford (réalisateur, dont un documentaire sur Bukowski de 1973)

    Entretiens complémentaires avec Linda Lee Bukowski, Bono et John Martin (éditeur) (26’)

    Les dernières images de Bukowski en 1992 (13’)

    Bukowski en France

    Extraits de "Women" (film adapté du livre) et de "Blowing my hero" avec Amber O’Neil

    Poèmes lus par Tom Waits ("Le cœur rieur") et Bono ("Jette les dés")

    I was waiting for someone to notice that - ha ha.

    How irrelevant and just plain fucked is that?

    She's also about three feet tall, judging by the size of the table she's standing next to...

    I'm 99.9% certain you had a picture exactly like the Born cover. But whatever.

    Mostly very positive reviews, but that's not surprising, it was a very good documentary. I assumed it would fall short, and went in with admittedly low expectations, but it was a very moving and insightful (if not comprehensive, but what 2 hour film could be?), piece of work.

    I particularly liked Ebert's review, since he wound up being a character in the Hollywood book. The link on that site doesn't take you directly to it, so here it is:

    A lot of reviews accuse Dullughan of hagiography, which makes sense. I think it really is only for the real Buk enthusiast.

    And why do the hell do the brits go Apostrophes? talk about unfair...

    Exactly!

    Though I can't find a list of the U.S. 'extras' at the moment, so maybe we get something good too. If not, some crafty UK types will be able to make some $$ selling Euro-copies on ebay...

    Yet he clung to the German side of his heritage, even though he didn't remember living there, and didn't grow up speaking German.

  23. HenryChinaski North Star Deserter

    yes but called California home for about 70 years of his life

    and how many times did he visit germany? once? twice? I think it was once.

    Apostrophes

    I haven't seen anything about a UK release yet... are you talking about the French release mentioned above? If so, it makes sense that they have a French TV show on their DVD :D

    If there's a UK release planned, can someone post a link?
