I only tried to watch this movie once. That was somwhere around 2001 or 2002 and I wasn't even able to finish it.
Not because I couldn't take hurt and pain in a movie, but I simply DID NOT FEEL my Bukowski in it.
I even didn't feel the pain at all. It was emotionless to me.
That thing made no impression at all; it just bored me.
When I found out, Bukowski liked that movie, I was embarrassed. I couldn't understand. And can't now.
Maybe I should give it another chance.
But not tonight.
