Ferreri’s Bukowski doesn’t even remotely reach the heights of his real-life counterpart.

 The true Charles’s verve is missing, the nihilism-cynicism dialectic - an essential keystone of the entire literary complex, is absent.

Marco Ferreri’s 'Storie di Ordinaria Follia' attempts to adapt Bukowski’s 'Tales of Ordinary Madness' into film but falls short of capturing the author's complex spirit. The movie reduces Bukowski’s profound nihilism and poetry to a clichéd romantic-drama, trivializing the original work. Despite some visual merit and faithful social setting, the protagonist is portrayed as bland and unexpressive. Fans of Bukowski’s true voice may find this adaptation disappointing and superficial. Discover why Ferreri’s film misses Bukowski’s mark—read the full review and explore the challenge of adapting literary classics to cinema.
