Naked Lunch (1991)

Not an adaptation of beat writer William S. Burrough’s novel but a mix of biography and an interpretation of his drug- induced writing processes combined with elements of his work in this paranoid fantasy about Bill Lee, a writer who accidentally shoots his wife, whose typewriter transforms into a cockroach and who becomes involved in a mysterious plot in North African port called Interzone. Wonderfully bizarre, not unlike Burrough’s books. ??Keith Loh Awards: 13 wins & 18 nominationsBudget: $16,000,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $2,641,357Soundtrack: Vaya Con Dios (Composed by Larry Russell / Inez James / Buddy Pepper)David CronenbergPeter Weller, Judy Davis, Ian Holm1992-04-24 (Canada, United Kingdom, Japan)tt0102511
