Naked Lunch (1991)
9/10
Insects informing about reality.
15 May 2009
Cronemberg is a certain ace. This particular tale of his, taking into inspiration the life and work of William Burroughs is a fractured tale of the mind of a writer. In it, there is not much logic, but billions of impulses that guide the development of the action. Crammed in between bug powder sniffing, bug-like typing machines, homosexuality and conspiracies, we can see Weller personifying a man who is trapped into his sense of lunacy, reality, fiction and despair. The trip down to his own, crooked imagination and desires is bizarre, attractive and unapologetic.

If you ever wrote, if you ever went crazy, or thought you were about to, if you cannot understand or find your way through troubles, if you see bugs everywhere, see this. You won't regret it.
