A good movie

It had been a while since I had seen a movie directed by David Cronenberg and the concept of Cronenberg directing an adaptation of the most famous book written by William S. Burroughs was quite intriguing. Well, I’m not sure if I should recommend it but it was still something ‘else’. The point is that 90% of the movie is basically the feverish dream of a junkie but, somehow, you could still ... read more

I had added this film to my 'want to watch' list. What I do is I go to netflix, and find which movies on my list are on netflix. This one happened to be avalible.

I had no idea what this film was about all I knew was it was trippy. I was instantly enthralled with the story as soon as I found out what the drug of choice was. I thought it was hilarious, and quite disgusting to say the... read more
View all Naked Lunch reviews
Exterminator Bill Lee finds himself following his wife into an addiction to the bug powder he uses. After accidentally killing her, he descends into a hallucinatory existence in which he imagines himself a secret agent answering to a series of bizarre creatures. He channels his energies into writing "reports" on his delusional mission, while trying to break his addiction. The story loosely reflects events in the life of author Burroughs as he wrote the novel.

" Based on the book, by William S. Burroughs and his years writing said controversial book, Peter Weller plays William Lee a writer tasked with spying and possibly “exterminating” his wife Joan. He does however accidentally kill her, after seeing Joan becoming a hopeless bug powder addict, and ends up in the Inter Zone a strange world with even stranger characters, and writing on a even weirder typewriter. The film was considered to be “too weird”, even for critics and audiences, and a"

"If the second half was a great as the first half, this would be a true masterpiece. Instead it's a noteworthy oddity from the marvelous David Cronenberg. "

What your favorite movie (really) says about you.. (57 movies items)

"If Naked Lunch is your favorite movie...You love Bukowski with a hint of Vonnegut. You love, more importantly, William S. Burroughs, and the trepidacious wobbling and undulating source of existential and metaphysical doom and dread which culls us all into the void, at times. "
