Naked Lunch (1991)
7/10
Beatnik Surrealism
21 September 2021
It's vey, very difficult to adapt the written works of the Beat Generation, especially a piece composed of wandering, surrealist vignettes like William S. Burrough's Naked Lunch. This film did so as well as anyone possibly could.

If you enjoy surrealism, but also like a good story, check this one out. Peter Wellers is amazing, Cronenberg is... well, he does his thing. You know what I mean. This film has a lot of my favorite movie quotes in it, and I'll never forget the repulsive yet entrancing visual effects. This is a must see for the Cronenberg fan and the viewer who likes to be surprised and low-key horrified.
