Subscribe FreeBased on the book by William S. Burroughs, "Naked Lunch" is the previously unfilmable novel partly resembling the author's own life. Bill Lee (Weller) is an exterminator and wanna be writer who's also a drug addict. Talking to giant bugs is part of the everyday norm for Bill. His wife Joan (Davis) is also a druggie, and her drug of choice is bug powder. When Bill makes his way to Interzone, the hallucinations really begin and Bill's writing becomes more surreal than even he could have imagined. (Tricia Littrell)
