Bukowski hated movies and movie makers with a passion. The late writer would often chronicle his dislike in short stories, poems and in his novels. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the other hand, Hollywood filmmakers, from all strata of the industry, flocked to the powerful, raw and magnetic energy of his stories and poems and the cinematic possibilities they held. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarc Shapiro delves into this complex hate\/love relationship between author and auteur(s) with countless interviews of those who made cinematic sense of all levels of Bukowski films, from student efforts, to art house, to even the short experimental ones.
