Charles Bukowski: Film Critic

"We got cable TV here, and the first thing we switched on happened to
be Eraserhead. I said, 'Oh, this cable TV has opened up a whole new
world. We're gonna be sitting in front of this thing for centuries.
What next?' So starting with Eraserhead we sit here, click, click,
click - nothing." -Film Comment interview, 1987

"Want me to name [my favorite films]? One Flew Over the Cuckoo's
Nest, Elephant Man, Eraserhead, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? -
that's a classic. [Akira] Kurosawa and those great battle scenes. And
all those great samurai films where guys are chopping heads off."
-Film Comment interview, 1987

"Mickey Rourke is a real human guy, on and off the set. And in "Barfly"
he really came through with the acting. I felt his enjoyment and
inventiveness. Faye Dunaway just can't match his talent or his
humanness but she filled her role." -Film Threat interview, 1987
