Naked Lunch / Alaston lounas

David Cronenberg’s Naked Lunch, adapted from the novel by William S. Burroughs, is a wild, imaginative plunge into paranoia, desire, and hallucinatory creativity. Blurring reality and fantasy, the film transforms Burroughs’ impossible text into something vividly cinematic, strange, funny & queer.

Exterminate all rational thought.
Blank-faced bug killer Bill Lee and his dead-eyed wife, Joan, like to get high on Bill’s pest poisons while lounging with Beat poet pals. After meeting the devilish Dr. Benway, Bill gets a drug made from a centipede. Upon indulging, he accidentally kills Joan, takes orders from his typewriter-turned-cockroach, ends up in a constantly mutating Mediterranean city and learns that his hip friends have published his work – which he doesn’t remember writing.
