Naked Lunch background

Naked Lunch

In a North African port city, a troubled exterminator's reliance on a potent insecticide spirals out of control, causing a catastrophic event that sets him on a collision course with a government cover-up and a desperate fight against gargantuan, blood-curdling insects.

The film is a unique blend of biography and fantasy, inspired by the life and work of William S. Burroughs. It follows Bill Lee, a writer whose life spirals out of control after a tragic accident, as he becomes embroiled in a mysterious plot in the North African port of Interzone. Along the way, his typewriter transforms into a cockroach, and he's forced to navigate a surreal world of paranoia and fantasy.
