Belgian. (1987). One of three stories, based on Bukowski's earlier, acne-riddled years.









Haven't seen this. But, does it 'qualify' as a Bandage Man movie???



I say, if he has the wraps on like this for more than five minutes, in
two or more various scenes possible in that time, it's a yes.

    "acne-riddled" - that why he's wearing bandage round noggin? Either way, seems to qualify as a Bandage Man movie, aye. Five minutes like so, or two or more various scenes sounds like a fair enough rule. Speaking of Bandage Man movies, you should check out the 2007 Spanish film "Timecrimes" ("Los cronocrímenes"). The lead character spends a good amount of time "bandaged up" as such, therefore it just may meet your criteria for such things.

    Never thought of color wraps, non-bloody(?), that is... :) --RG

    - That linked pic is kind of misleading, actually. It appears that the majority of promos released for this film were / are also misleading, as it's not a 'Slasher' or Horror film in any way. Is more a black comedy / mystery, one fairly involving if a tad muddled towards the end. Would post link to trailer, but said trailer pretty much spells out the whole damn film (as most do today - who is the lame brain who puts such together??). Also expected in this day and age, "Time Crimes" is slated for an (inevitable) U.S. remake in 2011 - though could be good news if this is true: http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/05/14/timecrimes-remake-aiming-for-david-cronenberg/ Speaking of 'time traveling' flicks, apparently both "Primer" (2004, U.S.) and "Sleep Dealer" (2008, Spain) are quite good (if you're into those kind of films). --RH
