Time Out - [David Cronenberg's] most complex and brilliant cinematic metaphor to date...
Additional Information
The dry wit of William S. Burroughs transfers surprisingly well to the screen, where a pest-control man seeking escape from his troubled existence flees to Interzone, a hallucinatory version of Tangiers, where reality and fantasy have merged. Peter Weller does a dead-on Burroughs impression, and the film follows a bizarre logic and has a dark, rich look that help make it one of Cronenberg's more satisfying works. It's not exactly Burroughs, but it is a strange, surreal landscape inhabited by half-alien, half-insect creatures and bizarre humans. And, like all other Cronenberg films it's a bit squishy; it is full of the biological dread that pervades all his films. Make no mistake, this film is not exactly faithful to the novel, and Cronenberg provides it with a neat framework, beginning and ending with Benway accidentally(

Quirky, whacky, twisty - Bizzare !
If you liked 'Fear & Loathing' you will probably like this. This film is made to look dated but that adds to the 'charm' of the movie. The plot / story isnt too complicated but is one that is open to some interpretation in alot of ways. You may have to watch it a few times which in my book is always a mark of a good movie. It has spy movie type qualities and includes some outlandish special effects. If you start reading up on Willam S Burroughs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_S._Burroughs you will realise that this film is partly based on events in his life, a rather intruiging and volatile path which he obviously stumbled down on more than one occasion. This all adds to the rather intersting and mental conjuring the director has created from the novel.

Naked Lunch - Cult Burroughs
This 1959 novel is William Burroughs's finest work, I think. Critics have hailed it his 'seminal work' and 'a landmark in American Literature'. It is a cross-genre experiment, somewhere between Burroughs's usual weird real-lfe 'beat' works like 'Junky' and dark fantasy. The book amounts to a series of loosely-connected vignettes, based on the writer's experience while taking various drugs. These little chapters, according to Burroughs, can be read in any order. What about the film? David Cronenberg gave the novel the treatment it deserved, to a point, with his 1991 adaptation: it features Roy Scheider, Peter Weller, Ian Holm, and Julian Sands. Cronenberg takes Burroughs's novel and a selection of his other fiction and mixes it up into what is the screenplay for 'Naked Lunch' the movie. But there is much missing from the novel. The prominent things taken from the novel include: the talking a-hole, Dr Benway, William Lee, the Mugwumps, 'Black Meat' (a fictional drug), and Interzone and Annexia. Film Plot: William Lee is an exterminator of bugs. His wife is stealing his stock for recreational use. Because of much exposure to his toxic substances, Lee begins to have weird experiences. He believes he is a secret agent for Interzone. He is sure he has been hired to kill his cheating wife. He then kills his wife, who he finds sleeping with another man. Back at Interzone HQ, Lee writes up his mission and while here, his typewriters turn into bug-like things. Clark Nova, his personal typewriter advises Lee to seek out Dr Benway. Benway is seeing a woman who resembles Lee's wife. Joan Frost. Time with her reveals stuff about Benway that Lee didn't know. That Benway is harvesting a drug called 'Black Meat' that is made from the guts of giant centipedes. He joins Annexia. Here he question by the Annexian Border Patrol to prove he is a writer and he shoots Frost. Not faithful to the novel, Cronenberg's adaptation nevertheless works well. He aptly transfers Burroughs's characters to film, while providing his own narrative framework. The film, like the book, mixes reality and fantasy. Only a director like Cronenberg could pull it off. Genres: beat, off-beat, horror, and just plain weird! Ghost BookFiends.Read full review
