NAKED LUNCH
starstarstarstar
Filmmaker David Cronenberg has been quoted as saying that a completely faithful translation of William S. Burroughs's Naked Lunch would have cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make and would have resulted in a film that virtually nobody would want to see. The film that Cronenberg has made can hardly be considered a feel-good hit, but it is a grotesquely humorous concoction, a bizarre dark fantasy about the making of the infamous novel. Peter Weller stars as the novelist "William Lee"; Judy Davis plays his doomed wife. Read the complete review for Naked Lunch
