And the cyclical opening and closing shots are truly a thing of beauty.<br /><br />I'd like to see more Schroeder (I've already seen IDI AMIN DADA, KOKO, MAITRESSE, and TRICHEURS) and I think the BUKOWSKI TAPES, REVERSAL OF FORTUNE, and possibly the absurd-looking KISS OF DEATH or SINGLE WHITE FEMALE are going into the queue.

"Another round, for all my friends!" indeed!<br /><br />Great film that really captures the grubby, skid row vibe of Bukowski's prose. I always feel like I need to take a shower after watching this film... or get a Tetanus shot... or both.<br /><br />And I love, love how the film begins and ends with a slow tracking shot into and then out of the bar with Booker T. and the MGs playing over the soundtrack. Awesome.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.com
