About This Movie

Naked Lunch is a 1991 crime and drama film directed by David Cronenberg. Its leading cast includes Peter Weller, Judy Davis and Ian Holm. It runs for 1 hour 55 minutes.

Synopsis

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.
