Review of Naked Lunch (1991)

By Del H (99) on 31 Aug 2014

I think that it can be a bit self-indulgent in its almost obsessive homage to Burroughs and the film lacks the edgy satire that made the novel…

Un notable Peter Weller (Robocop) en un alucinante aunque confuso tour kafkiano dotado de un humor bastante torcido.A ver pero con el estomago vacio…

By Dave Kehr (1,442) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Aug 2014

Stretching himself with each new work, David Cronenberg has come up with a fascinating, demanding, mordantly funny picture…

By Dalton N (74) on 21 Jan 2014

Despite the subject matter, the film is rather restrained for a Cronenberg picture…

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…

By Ranma S (2) on 29 Dec 2014

Hay por lo menos 2 grandes mentiras en ese titulo.Obra maestra de David Cronenberg para ver con mucha paciencia...Y de la mano Cronenberg todos…

Review of Naked Lunch (1991)

By Ricardo M (270) on 13 Sep 2015

A história é notoriamente confusa, mas isso não compromete o deslumbre visual e a originalidade desta ficção-científica bizarra que recorre…
