Ausgezeichnete Doku über den großen alten Mann der amerikanischen Literatur.

"The engaging documentary ‘Born Into This’ peers beyond the myth of lovably cantankerous counter-culture author-hero Charles Bukowski.

'When you get the shit kicked out of you long enough...you’ll have the tendency to say what you really mean,' states Charles Bukowski in the engaging new documentary 'Bukowski: Born Into This.' That terse observation hints at the brutality of Bukowski’s childhood, when his father would beat him with a razor strop. It also affords a context in which to view his famously stripped-down, no-nonsense literature, charged with autobiographical detail, an urgent, acerbic world-view and that balls-to-the-wall take on booze, sex, poverty and the daily grind.

The documentary marks the filmmaking debut of John Dullaghan. The former advertising copywriter felt such a kinship with Bukowski that he devoted seven years to making what is, at heart, a loving tribute to a writer, his craft and, above all, the idea of living and dying by one’s own creed. 'Born Into This' manages to peer beyond the Bukowski Myth to arrive at something far more layered and fascinating."
