NAKED LUNCH (Cronenberg, 1991)

Join us for a screening of David Cronenberg's 1991 masterpiece, a thrilling, twisted, colorful homage to William Burroughs's iconic novel, Naked Lunch. This film is not just a cinematic adaptation, but an original take steeped in the art and life of a legendary counterculture figure.

👨‍🔬 Bill Lee (played by Peter Weller) and his lifeless wife Joan (Judy Davis) enjoy a high life fueled by Bill's pest control poisons, associating with their Beat poet friends. However, everything takes a dark turn after an encounter with the sinister Dr. Benway (Roy Scheider), leading to a mysterious drug made from a centipede. In a shocking twist, Bill accidentally kills Joan, finds himself receiving orders from his typewriter-turned-cockroach, and ends up in a bizarre, ever-shifting Mediterranean city while discovering his friends have published his work without his recollection.
