My partner is still processing that film eight years later. She thinks she’ll be able to watch it again in another couple of years. I think I’ll keep her away from the book, whatever happens.
The book is MUCH stranger and dark. There is also the real like stuff they added in the movie.
The author shoot and killed his wife in a William Tell stunt in real life. He then fled toTangierr where he would go out have sex do drugs and come back to his room and write what became Naked Lunch.
His real life friends and authors Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac visited him collected the pages he had written showed then to a publisher and Naked Lunch was born.
The friends in the beginning who show up later to visit are based on Ginsberg and Kerouac.
Yeah, that’s the thing. When I heard they were gonna make a film of Naked Lunch my first thought was: “wtf? you can’t put that on camera.” I think they delivered a great compromise in the end.
It’s an odd choice but Naked Lunch. Strange adaptation of a strange book. It gives everybody something to talk about.
