"Crazy Love"
1987
Directed by Dominique Deruddere
The first film from Dominique Deruddere, director of
the Oscar-nominated Everybody's Famous!, is an adaptation of several
short stories by the late, iconic author Charles Bukowski, particularly "The
Copulating Mermaid of Venice, Calif." Three crucial stages in one man's life
are detailed in a chronology filled with bittersweet, bizarre and often
shocking scenarios, beginning in his youth as a naive 12-year-old, through
his miserable, acne-scarred adolescence, up to his adult life as an
alcoholic, drug-addicted dropout with urges of necrophilia. "Stunning. Quite
unique...As bizarre a film experience as one could hope to have" (Sunday
Times). In Dutch with English subtitles. 90 minutes. |
