Burroughs's hallucinatory, once-thought unfilmable novel NAKED LUNCH, directed by David Cronenberg (VIDEODROME), a part-time exterminator and full-time drug addict named Bill Lee (ROBOCOP's Peter Weller) plunges into the nightmarish Interzone, a netherworld of sinister cabals and giant talking bugs. Alternately humorous and grotesqueand always surrealthe film mingles aspects of Burroughs's novel with incidents from the writer's own life, resulting in an evocative paranoid fantasy and a self-reflexive investigation into the mysteries of the creative process. Review: Awesome movie - Awesome movie Review: Fans of Cronenburg, Peter Weller or movies like "Fear and Loathing" will love this - Part allegory, part biography, part drug fueled hallucination with comparisons to "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", "A Scanner Darkly" and "Trainspotting" this is a difficult movie to define. Less a direct conversion of the novel by Burroughs (because honestly, how?) and more an homage to the authors life and works, this film manages to do justice to the material and retain Cronenberg's weird and often grotesque style. Earns its "R' rating from the outset with adult themes and probably not suitable for every adult. Absolutely worth watching, and then rewatching. Criterion collection adds insight in the liner notes and bonus commentary. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00B2BYXSG | | Actors | Ian Holm, Judy Davis, Julian Sands, Peter Weller, Roy Scheider | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,811 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #75 in Fantasy Blu-ray Discs #451 in Horror (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (860) | | Director | David Cronenberg | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | CRRN2253BR | | MPAA rating | R (Restricted) | | Media Format | Blu-ray, Dolby, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 1.59 ounces | | Release date | April 9, 2013 | | Run time | 1 hour and 55 minutes | | Studio | Criterion Collection | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** David Cronenberg, Ian Holm, Judy Davis, Julian Sands, Peter Weller, Roy Scheider - **Format:** Blu-ray, Dolby, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Genre:** Horror - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 55 minutes ## Images ![Naked Lunch (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810pMypYnZL.jpg) ![Naked Lunch (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KSRL8xLAL.jpg) ![Naked Lunch (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91RjjOhOh9L.jpg) ![Naked Lunch (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91SpodoToxL.jpg) ![Naked Lunch (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91FwRY3QWeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome movie *by E***N on March 14, 2026* Awesome movie ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fans of Cronenburg, Peter Weller or movies like "Fear and Loathing" will love this *by C***B on July 4, 2025* Part allegory, part biography, part drug fueled hallucination with comparisons to "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", "A Scanner Darkly" and "Trainspotting" this is a difficult movie to define.

William S. Burroughs' "Naked Lunch" was a novel many wanted to turn into a movie but it had to wait for F/X & a Director capable of filming its unreal expression of the Author's inner turmoil. David Cronenberg & modern film making combined to make it a unique & shining reality. The cast is dynamite & do a tremendous job of portraying Mr. Burroughs characters. Peter Weller from Robocop as Bill Lee, Judy Davis as Joan Lee/Frost their wife, Ian Holm of Bilbo fame as Tom Frost, Julian Sands as Yves Cloquet & Roy Scheider as a Doctor of deception & others you'll know. WARNING this show takes flight earlier & does not return. Get drinks first. A married exterminator & drug addict hooked on using his "bug powder" for intoxication as well as work begins his journey into psychosis on the train of hallucinations. His wife, then perceived as a problem, is easily removed at the direction of Bill's controller. It then becomes time to go undercover in a truly foreign country. Once there he will send out reports on enemy agents hiding in the same culture he is in. There are new customs, new friends, new enemies but still the same old Bill to try & deal with it all. That's this story line in a nutshell. It gives you No Idea about what is visually contained in this movie. All of these scenes play out in an exquisitely detailed & totally outlandish manner thanks to the direction of David Cronenberg. He was truly the one director to handle the job of book story to finished film here. What he accomplished before doing this film was only training for the making of "Naked Lunch". This movie is not ethereal & otherworldly the images are recognizable by anyone (I'm assuming you know what a typewriter is). Bill Lee our lead character is truly a stranger in his own strange land (pardon me Mr. Heinlein). To watch this show is to be in the middle of a psychotic mind visually. If you are a fan of the weird, the unusual, the bizarre & the unique you will love this. If you are a David Cronenberg fan this show is a non-stop Cronenberg fantasy you shouldn't miss. This was worth the wait & a BIG thanks to all the people that backed off trying this because they knew it wasn't time to try yet. 5 BIG STARS! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/4917412-naked-lunch-the-criterion-collection-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.it/products/4917412-naked-lunch-the-criterion-collection-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
