Everyone will have their opinion about Charles Bukowski but fact is that he's the kind of author who kicks us a conscience or as he say himself "I know a lot of dogs who have more style than humans but then again I don't know that many dogs with style". His books had two main subjects : drinking and sex. So no wonder that Marco Ferreri's adaption of one Bukowski's books are like that as well. We follow the life of an author Serking (who in fact is Bukowski and being excently performed by Ben Gazarra) in where he is looking to freed himself, he finds his escapes in Cazza (Ornella Mutti) a prostitute who is fed up with life and who only likes to humilate her (beautiful) body. Ferreri directed like most of his films are, pretty cold, shocking, alternative but above all watchable, so this is no art-nonsense. How it was possible is beyond me but Ferreri couldn't have found a better actor than Ben Gazarra doing this job, one of his best roles!
