[Strathmann, Ralf]

Bukowski's Last Bet

Exile Productions, 2001. Unknown. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" New / No Jacket. Item #0110319

Hilarious and heartbreaking 17-minute short film starring R.C. Bates, by Los Angeles filmmaker Ralf Strathmann. Charles Bukowski comes in a vision to R.C. Bates' character in the film (a down-on-his-luck, no-account player of ponies married to a whore, a typical denizen of a Bukowski story)... and various adventures ensue. Inspired by the life and art of Charles Bukowski, this film is (much like his own work), a study of the lives of those for whom Hollywood is a sign rather than a career.
