Synopsis

David Cronenberg succeeds in filming what many considered unfilmable. He creates a bizarre, drug inspired world based on the once-banned 1959 underground novel by William Burroughs. Peter Weller couldn't be better as a Burroughs-like novelist/junkie who is sent to Interzone on a secret mission by a talking typewriter that transmutes to a roach. With Judy Davis, Julian Sands, Ian Holm and Roy Scheider as Dr. Benway. "A thrilling, astounding, devastating piece of work" (Dave Kehr, Chicago Tribune). David Cronenberg---USA---1991---117 mins.

If you like to feel nauseated, this is the movie for you, because it works overtime to make you gag. I have never read "Naked Lunch", nor would I ever want to after seeing this. Burroughs, the author, must have been certifiably insane, and proves it throughout this story line. But, if people preparing, processing and eating cut up pieces of giant insects is your thing, then by all means indulge yourself. Don't wast your time with this unwatchable crap otherwise.
