January 18, 2009 - Naked Lunch

Caught one of the strangest movies I've ever seen.

(22) Naked Lunch (1991): No one will ever accuse David Cronenberg of being unimaginative. This film was pretty awesome in the imagination department. Based on the book by William S. Burroughs, Naked Lunch is a tale of loneliness, madness, the creative process of writing, drug abuse, murder, and all manner of debauchery that plague a writer played by a very good Peter Weller. Just to give you a taste of the strangeness, people in this world are addicted to bug poison, and other drugs made from bugs like centipedes. It's almost worth watching the "making of" documentary first, and then the film. At any rate, a damn good film that you should see at your leisure.

3.5 Stars
