Synopsis "Hollywood "

From iconic tortured artist/everyman Charles Bukowski, Hollywood is the fictionalization of his experience adapting his novel Barfly into a movie by the same name.Henry Chinaski, Bukowski's alter-ego, is pushed to translate a semi-autobiographical book into a screenplay for John Pinchot. He reluctantly agrees, and is thrust into the otherworld called Hollywood, with its parade of eccentric and maddening characters: producers, artists, actors and actresses, film executives and journalists. In this world, the artistry of books and film is lost to the dollar, and Chinaski struggles to keep his footing in the tangle of cons that comprise movie making.Hollywood is Dirty Old Man Bukowski at his most lucid. It overflows with curses, sex, and alcohol. And through it all, or from it all, Bukowski finds flashes of truth about the human condition.

Heinrich Karl Bukowski (Andernach, Germany, August 16, 1920-San Pedro, Los Angeles, March 9, 1994), known as (Henry) Charles Bukowski, was a writer of short stories, a novelist, and a poet born in Germany, representative of dirty realism and considered a "cursed poet" due to his excessive alcoholism, poverty, and bohemian lifestyle

The literary work of Bukowski is strongly influenced by the atmosphere of the city of Los Angeles, where he spent most of his life. Today, he is considered one of the most influential writers of American literature and one of the symbols of "dirty realism" and independent literature

Bukowski wrote books in various genres, such as: diaries, stories, novels, poems, essays, and even wrote Barfly, a film screenplay based on his alter ego Henry Chinaski, directed by French filmmaker Barbet Schroeder, a film in which he made a cameo in a bar. He compiled this experience in a book of stories, Hollywood (1989)
