Description

Former junkie William Lee (Peter Weller, Robocop) makes ends meet as an exterminator. But when he and his wife Joan (Judy Davis, Barton Fink) discover the hallucinatory properties of the powder he uses to kill bugs, they become hooked, and their world is changed forever. Insects speak, typewriters mutate and talk, interdimensional beings reveal themselves, and identities fracture and blur; nothing and no one is quite what it seems. When Bill, under the influence of drugs, or the bugs that have begun talking to him, shoots his wife, he flees to Interzone, at once a place and a state of mind, where things only get stranger. Naked Making Lunch, archival making-of documentary directed by Chris Rodley presented in a new scan from the director’s personal 16mm print and viewable with a new audio interview with Rodley discussing his connection to Cronenberg and the process of making Naked Making Lunch literal senses) involving this character which is just one memorable moment that has a more or less direct analog in Total Recall. Concept Art Gallery – A collection of drawings and maquettes for the creatures of Naked Lunch by Stephan Dupuis Special Effects Gallery (HD) – There is an extensive collection of images detailing the special effects work of Chris Walas that is joined with a voice-over of Jody Duncan's essay from Cinefex magazine.

Naked Lunch is Cronenberg's most unusual film, and arguably his best. It was inspired by a book which many believed was unfilmable because it is essentially a bizarre summation of drug-induced hallucinations and fantasies. There is no specific direction in it, only a certain atmosphere.Naked Making Lunch - a 1992 documentary focusing on the production history of Naked Lunch by Chris Rodley. The documentary features clips from interviews with David Cronenberg and William S. Burroughs, actors Judy Davis (Joan Frost/Joan Lee) and Peter Weller (Bill Lee), producer Jeremy Thomas, and special effects supervisor Jim Isaac, amongst others. In English, not subtitled. (49 min, 1080i). Peter Suschitzky on Naked Lunch, a new interview with the celebrated director of photography (HD 11:01) Criterion's 1080p AVC/MPEG-4 transfer for this release of 'Naked Lunch' is certainly impressive. This is by far the most notable iteration the film has seen since it was released in theaters, and even then it's hard to imagine an image as sharp and pristine as the one presented on this release. Naked Lunchfollows drug addict and exterminator William Lee (Peter Weller), a man who accidentally shoots and kills his wife, but that was after he hallucinated that a giant talking beetle was trying to conscript him to kill his wife for a mysterious corporation called Interzone Incorporated. Lee flees to Interzone, a constantly morphing city located somewhere in North Africa, and becomes involved in a mysterious plot orchestrated by Dr. Benway (Roy Scheider). Naturally, Bill has many drug episodes along the way, including one where his typewriter/beetle creature brutally murders another typewriter in gruesome, weird, and bloody detail.

releases, hence the verbiage about HDR10 and Dolby Vision): Naked Lunch has been exclusively restored by Turbine in partnership with Arrow Films and is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1Naked Lunch is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Arrow Video with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.85:1. Arrow's insert booklet Fans of this film are going to be well pleased in my estimation, with a transfer that offers really sumptuous suffusion and some nicely improved detail Audio Recording of William S. Burroughs – This is a 1995 recording Burroughs did for an audiobook of 'Naked Lunch.'

review begins with a clear spoiler warning itself), but for anyone who has seen both films and may not have thought about it before, suddenly The special features are superb. Along with a new visual essay by David Cairns which provides a perfect half-hour explanation for those seeking increased clarity about the film, there are interviews with most key creative crew members, which break down the film into manageable chunks by looking at the score, the effects, the cinematography etc. as separate entities which build up into a larger vision. The interviews range from fifteen minutes to an hour plus, including a full 60 minutes with Peter Weller. On top of this there are two audio commentaries, including one featuring Cronenberg.

Film Still and Design Sketch Gallery - this gallery features production stills, by set photographer Attila Dory, of the cast and crew at work on the set of Naked Lunch. Also included are design sketches for some of the sets, drawn by art director James McAteer under the supervision of production designer Carol Spider. All images are in 1080p. Burroughs is famous for being cantankerous about adaptations of his work, and he’s more than a bit justified in that exact feeling, though the man’s violent attitude certainly takes an artist of a certain demeanor to parse through all the terse wordplay. In comes Cronenberg, a calm and metronomic presence that seems at odds with Burroughs at first, but what’s always been there is a man that deeply understands our relationship with drugs, power, and money as in how they dictate our reality. Thus, we must revolt, in whatever way we can. In a career dedicated to seeing the unseeable and filming the unfilmable, perhaps only David Cronenberg could really do justice to William S. Burroughs’ controversial novel, Naked Lunch. Weaving together elements of Burroughs’ own remarkable biography with the content of the book, Cronenberg’s film steps inside the body and mind of an author to depict the dangerous act of imagination itself from the inside out. Trailer - the original theatrical trailer for Naked Lunch created by 20th Century Fox. David Cronenberg once described it as "audacious and intelligent". In English, not subtitled. (2 min, 1080i).

the key to any number of questions Bill has as to what exactly is real and what is not. There are a number of at times patently gonzo sidebar of teals, greens, browns and beiges, while also providing some suitably stomach churning fine detail in the bug material in particular. Kind of Occasionally, this can just be chalked up to the fact that Hollywood couldn't see the work attracting a large enough audience to justify the untold millions of dollars it would take to see said film come to fruition. Other times, it's simply because the work in question has been dubbed unfilmable, or the content too unlike what Hollywood normally puts out to rationalize the effort of making such an adaptation. Most recently, Ang Lee's Academy Award-winning adaptation of Yann Martel's 'Life of Pi' comes to mind with this notion of unfilmable books being brought to life, but there are countless others such as Bret Easton Ellis' 'American Psycho,' Vladamir Nabokov's 'Lolita' (which has been made twice, by the way) and Hunter S. Thompson's 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,' just to name a few.

throughout in this version, and shadow detail in some of the dimly lit interior scenes can also show improvement. Grain is very nicely resolved It truly doesn’t matter if you’re tripping from bug dust or not when watching this HEVC-encoded 2160p presentation framed at 1.85:1, as you’ll be treated to an absolutely stunning transfer through and through. This presentation is sourced from a 4K restoration of the original camera negative undertaken by both Turbine Media and Arrow Films. Scanning was done in Toronto, then conforming and color grading was done in Germany by Turbine, and then the final transfer was approved by Cronenberg. The result is a beautiful and filmic image that pulls an incredible amount of detail out of the source.
