Not the easiest of films to watch but a really decent attempt at portraying Bukowski on film and containing some great scenes and very fine performances.
Ben Gazzara, who probably is too good looking but nevertheless most convincing in the lead role is excellent, Ornella Muti is simply wonderful (and probably too good looking as well!) and at her peak of beauty here. Just wish she wouldn't do those things with safety pins!
Susan Tyrrel also impresses in key sequences, but it's the whole thing that works so well.
With such a difficult subject matter,Ferreri has done a tremendous job.
