Esta era una de esas obras conocidas como "imposibles" de adaptar a la pantalla grande. Mentira. Cronenberg logra con esta pelicula una experiencia arriesgada, elegante y bizarra; contundentemente adaptada. Estremecedora y Alucinante.

Amazing. Cronenberg's best work IMO. A trip from start to end, not for the close minded. William S's work was done great justice in this movie…

This movie is a crazy trip! The more sense you try to make out of it, the less sense it actually makes. Its clever, well acted and fucked up…

Review of Naked Lunch (1991)

By Ahmed A (371) on 08 Jul 2018

I admired the underlying message, and the seemingly clever imagery. I loved the unique atmosphere that is similar to Terry Gilliam's Brazil…
