This was truly a great film! First of all, I was a little bit hesitant because Dillon seemed like an awful case of miscasting in the role of Chinaski. I was very surprised to see that not only he pulled it off fantastically, but also at times there was an obvious resemblance between Buko and Dillon (the bulky frame, the protruding chin etc...).
The movie follows with astonishing faithfulness the rhythm of Bukowski's novels with its anecdotal structure, minimal but sharp dialogues, almost unnoticeable alternation between laughing-out-loud funny and depressingly pathetic etc...
Anyone who loves Bukowski's work like I do shouldn't miss this movie.
