CinemaSerf7 Feb 1, 2026Using a frankly quite fascinating technique of photography, we spend ten minutes time-lapsing the process of a young chick growing from tiny embryo to tiny feathered creature. At times it just looks like a sequence of photographs, but if you look closely you can see it change, evolve, pulsate and grow before your eyes. A foetus takes shape with it’s minute heart pumping blood through an intricate system of veins, and as they expand the bird takes a more recognisable shape. I’m not sure if the choice of Beethoven’s “Egmont” overture was tongue in cheek or not, but it’s varying pace ranging from the delicate to the rousing complements the intricate imagery splendidly and this makes for really quite a breathtaking watch. The amount of effort that must have been required to get out of that shell, though - this little newborn isn’t as puny as it might look.

Director John Dullaghan’s biographical documentary about infamous poet Charles Bukowski, Bukowski: Born Into This, is as much a touching portrait of the author as it is an exposé of his sordid lifestyle. Interspersed between ample vintage footage of Bukowski’s poetry readings are interviews with the poet’s fans including such legendary figures such as Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Joyce Fante (wife of John), Bono, and Harry Dean Stanton. Filmed in grainy black and white by Bukowski’s friend, Taylor Hackford, due to lack of funding, the old films edited into this movie paint Bukowski’s life of boozing and brawling romantically, securing Bukowski’s legendary status.
