Ask the Dust (2006)

This movie is a shame of Bukowski's book

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is a shame. The character of Baldini can't be interpreted by an handsome guy like Colin Farrel. Arturo Baldini is a loser and misunderstood Italian guy, fighting for survival in L.A. In the film he appears like a cool guy that picks-up a Mexican sexy girl in a bar. The love between Camilla and Arturo is not real, is platonic...He desires her, but she just use him, they DO NOT MAKE LOVE AT ALL in the book, she doesn't fall in love with Arturo. In this way the film changes the main meaning of the book and I really do not understand why the director changed the plot in this way. He should had made another film, with another title, with different characters. I think it's really difficult to appreciate this movie if you have read the book. I hope you to be agree with me. I'm sorry for the English, I'm just a poor Italian Guy. Bye to everyone
