Synopsis
Naked Lunch (1991) is David Cronenberg's crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Bug exterminator William Lee (Peter Weller) gets high on his own pesticide and slips into a hallucination with no clear way back.
After he accidentally shoots his wife, Lee flees to an invented place called Interzone. His typewriter turns into a talking beetle that issues orders from shadowy handlers, a centipede-derived drug erases the line between reality and delirium, and Dr. Benway (Roy Scheider) keeps pulling him deeper. Judy Davis plays two women who mirror his unraveling mind.
Cronenberg loosely fused William S. Burroughs' banned novel with the writer's own biography, reshaping an "unfilmable" book into a bleak fantasy about addiction and the act of writing. Chris Walas built the animatronic creatures. Stream Naked Lunch (1991) online on iFILM.
