Naked Lunch DVD (longer version than Criterion release)
Peter Weller, Ian Holm, Roy Scheider, Judy Davis. A drug-addict writer, who is an exterminator part-time, accidentally kills his wife and then hallucinates that his typewriter has become a giant cockroach in this bizarre over-the-edge tale. From the Back Cover Exterminate all rational thought.
Naked Lunch, William S. Burroughs' hallucinatory, "unfilmable" novel is finally realized on-screen by director David Cronenberg. Part-time exterminator and full-time drug addict Bill Lee (Peter Weller) plunges into the nightmarish netherworld of the Interzone, pursuing a mysterious project that leads him to confront sinister cabals and giant talking bugs.
The fruit of an unholy union between two masters of the hilarious and the macabre, Naked Lunch mingles aspects of Burroughs' novel with incidents from his own life, resulting in a compendium of paranoid fantasies and a searching investigation into the mysteries of the writing process.
