An amazing, worthy journey.
Provides an overview of Bukowski's work and allows us to gaze into the soul of a man who built a fortress of toughness around his vulnerable core.
The filmmaker knows when to shift the rhythm of his investigation. The authenticity of art is woven with the artifice of life.
Over a period of seven years, Dullaghan interviewed hundreds of people who knew or were affected by Bukowski. The result is both wide-ranging and intimate.
How much was legend, how much was pose, how much was real? I think it was all real, and the documentary suggests as much.
Dullaghan's raw and defining documentary about the man -- and the myth.
This excels by not merely charting the fascinating raw materials of the man's life and work, but in finding a symbiosis between its own aesthetic and the spirit of its subject
We witness Bukowski warts and all in his worst, in his best, and at his most violent--and we still love him for it.
This thorough documentary is essential for the poet's fans.
there is plenty of conflict to be found in the Bukowski's life and work, yet little of it makes its way into Born into This
[Bukowski] is never seen in less than fighting spirit or formidable form throughout the documentary Bukowski: Born into This.
Loving tribute to an American original
A heartfelt, interesting portrait of one of America's greatest writers. The presence of Bono felt completely out of place and even a bit intrusive, but aside from that I enjoyed everything about this film.
Super Reviewer
moving documentary on the mad poet bukowski who never compromised his work. a powerful portrait of a brave yet fragile man who some would call an asshole
