Tales of Ordinary Madness

Poet Charles Serking (Ben Gazarra) rejects conventions, taking a journey through the underbelly of Los Angeles. Along the way, he meets unstable teenagers, nymphomaniacs and a self-destructive prostitute who he falls in love with. Loosely based on the autobiographical short stories of the infamous beat poet Charles Bukowski, this film from Italian director Marco Ferreri won numerous awards in its country of origin (Italy).
