5.0 out of 5 stars essential for the Bukowski fan in your life! Sep 24 2006
By signman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
2006 seems to be the year for Bukowski on dvd and it's about time! between this and BORN INTO THIS, fans of Buk have a reason to rejoice, and pray there's more stuff in the vaults.I won't go into any production details about THE CHARLES BUKOWSKI TAPES because it's all in the product description, but I will say that it's a four-hour tour into the mind and thoughts of CB broken down into 52 short chapters. if you're a non-fan, it probably won't win you over, but anyone curious as to the thought process of this author who arguably changed the face of modern lit and poetry will be sucked in. for those who think this two-disc set is just the ramblings of an old drunk are wrong: CB is very cogent and thoughtful. some might say Bukowski was pathetic, I say PROPHETIC, and his works will stand the test of time. P.S. for optimum viewing, add a few ADULT beverages and get the kids out of the room.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bukowski: the myth behind the man Sep 3 2007
By Edward Monk - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I didn't have time to watch the whole DVD, but so far the tapes are exactly what I expected: raw, funny and sometimes, sad.
Bukowski was a character of himself and that role playing was a form to sustain his dignity in the quite hostile environment he was in almost all his life: bad parents, bad jobs, bad women, cheap booze, lack of money. So that's why he tried - and in the tapes this is apparent sometimes - to build a myth of his past, and amused doing that.
But it doen't mean that he is not true or authetic (his bad skin and bad teeth expose everything about his past). It only means that, from time to time, Bukowski looks TOO MUCH Bukowski than one would expect.
Overall, the DVD is a great document about one of the great 20th century american writers and gives to his readers a live and deep insight to some of his thoughts and poems.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you saw Born Into This, you are going to want to watch this DVD April 23 2007
By Duarte - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Although a bit "Euro" in its presentation (cheesy French piano in between sections), the substance of these two DVDs is solid. Nothing beats an interview with Charles Bukowski. His looks are as honest and peculiar as what comes out of his mouth. But, don't just watch the DVDs... his written poetry is just as captivating. He takes you back to scenes in the 70s and 80s that are long gone now. In his writing though, they are right there... present tense.
