About This Item
Title: The Movie: "Barfly"
Author: Bukowski, Charles
Place: Santa Rosa
Publisher: Black Sparrow Press
Date: 1987
Description:
Decorative red cloth (with white patterns)-backed pictorial boards, paper spine label, acetate cover. No. 77 of 140 copies. First Edition.
Signed by Bukowski in the colophon. Also, signed by the two lead actors: Mickey Rourke and Faye Dunaway and by the director Barbet Schroeder all on the specially tipped-in leaf facing copyright page. Krumhansl 103.d. And hand-bound in elaborate pictorial boards by Earle Gray.
"A grimy comedy about what it might be like to spend a couple of days in [Charles Bukowski's] skin… Shroeder committed to filming Bukowski's screenplay exactly as written, in all its rambling but romantic detail. The result is a truly original American movie, a film like no other, a period of time spent in the company of the kinds of characters Saroyan and O'Neill would have understood, the kinds of people we try not to see, and yet might enjoy more than some of our more visible friends" (Roger Ebert). "An admirably lean, unsentimental screenplay by the poet laureate of America's misbegotten… Bukowski's dialogue is not only richly funny but… also compelling" (New York Times). This signed limited edition was released simultaneously with 500 hardcover trade copies and a limited edition of 400 special numbered and signed hardcover copies.
