Plot summary

Blank-faced bug killer Bill Lee and his dead-eyed wife, Joan, like to get high on Bill's pest poisons while lounging with Beat poet pals. After meeting the devilish Dr. Benway, Bill gets a drug made from a centipede. Upon indulging, he accidentally kills Joan, takes orders from his typewriter-turned-cockroach, ends up in a constantly mutating Mediterranean city and learns that his hip friends have published his work -- which he doesn't remember writing.

A creative adaptation of Burrough's novel of the same name. Naked Lunch is a repulsive, disgusting and sometimes beautiful experience to share in a theater during its most frightening Cronenberg moments.

It was fun, I'll probably watch it again sometime as a double feature with "Queer". Peter Weller and Daniel Craig look remarkably alike. There was a bit too much mumbling for my taste, and the first half of the film drags a little.
