HOLLYWOOD - CHARLES BUKOWSKI KARTONIERT (TB)

From iconic tortured artist everyman Charles Bukowski  Hollywood is the fictionalization of his
experience adapting his novel Barfly into a movie by the same name. Henry Chinaski  Bukowski's
alter-ego  is pushed to translate a semi-autobiographical book into a screenplay for John
Pinchot. He reluctantly agrees  and is thrust into the otherworld called Hollywood  with its
parade of eccentric and maddening characters: producers  artists  actors and actresses  film
executives and journalists. In this world  the artistry of books and film is lost to the dollar
and Chinaski struggles to keep his footing in the tangle of cons that comprise movie making.
Hollywood is Dirty Old Man Bukowski at his most lucid. It overflows with curses  sex  and
alcohol. And through it all  or from it all  Bukowski finds flashes of truth about the human
condition.
