  CHARLES BUKOWSKI - BORN INTO THIS  


Sunday May 1 | The John Hewitt | 3.00pm
 

Directed by John Dullaghan, Born into This is a deeply engrossing film biography of the famously cranky, hard drinking writer who died in 1994.

Over the years, the name Bukowski has become synonymous with drinking and fighting, seedy barrooms, foul-mouthed prostitutes, low paying jobs and roach-infested hotel rooms. For readers, Bukowski has come to personify the lower depths of human existence; in a direct, powerful and very personal style, he writes about an unthinkable but very real degradation based on his own life experiences.

Combining interviews with the reminiscences of former drinking buddies, fellow writers, and his second wife Linda, the keeper of his flame. Bono, Tom Waits and Sean Penn are among those who turn up to pay homage.

Admission £4.00
