Naked Lunch (1991)

Director: David Cronenberg
Writers:  William S. Burroughs, David Cronenberg
Cast:      Peter Weller, Judy Davis, Ian Holm

An exterminator gets addicted to the substance he uses to kill bugs and accidentally murders his wife. He gets involved in a secret government program orchestrated by giant bugs in Africa.

The film is kind of an adaptation of the William S. Burroughs novel of the same name but depicts the drug induced process of the author writing the novel. The film is weird but it is a bit dry and too clean and is not as good a watch as other Cronenberg films. Still an interesting film with some black humor thrown in.

Rating: 2.5/5
