7.0Blank-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.

Naked Lunch ist ein britisch-kanadischer Body-Horror-Film von David Cronenberg aus dem Jahre 1991. Durch einen Perspektivenwechsel schuf Cronenberg keine Verfilmung des gleichnamigen Kultromans von William S. Burroughs, sondern zeigt dessen (fiktionalisierte) Entstehung. Alienhafte Kreaturen und halluzinogene Substanzen sorgen dafür, dass Realität und Fiktion surrealistisch ineinander übergehen. In Deutschland wurde der mit sieben Genie Awards prämierte Film erstmals am 16. Februar 1992 im Rahmen der Berlinale gezeigt.
