Naked Lunch | Official Trailer | 4K

[@whirledpeas1182]

I first saw thim movie 3 days into opiate withdrawal...and it stuck with me.

[@muxz]

This was the first movie to ever truly fuck with my head. Reading the book after didn't help any. Love them both.

[@ClayMann]

i bounced off the book hard but I've seen this movie more times than I can even recall. I used to watch it on VHS tape every now and then but mostly introducing it to friends who hadn't seen it. It was always a kick watching someone new get their mind blown by it. I never really equated it with a drug trip like experience that I hear others saying it is now. How they took something then watched it. I just loved the look of the film and the maddeningly confusing elements that you just knew meant more but at least with me. I couldn't figure a lot of it out. A shame it got buried because it became so controversial. It would probably be rather tame by todays standards.

Peter Weller is underrated in his film work.

[@billriddle9215]

No he wasn't....what you need a reward to prove that,lol.

[@mitch2620]

I went to see this at a movie theater in 1991 with a friend. We had both consumed a decent amount of shrooms. It goes without saying I still cannot look a typewriter in the eye. Luckily they’re largely obsolete now.

[@porschialauren]

Bahahahaha.. yeah bugs and shrooms worst trip ever. 😂

[@porschialauren]

I can never look at a ceiling made of sheet rock. 😂

[@williamcrowe2576]

Let's not forget the scene where Ian Holm has a telepathic conversation with the main character.

[@SaintVodou]

“All of this is happening telepathically. If you watch my lips, you’ll see that I’m saying something else.” When you start believing him it’s time for the psych ward…

[@gfanikf]

“I can think of at least two things wrong with that title”

[@kevanbrown7620]

The Simpsons Nelson says it when they come out of the movie theater. 👍😊

[@Ciri0h]

I feel bad for Julian Sands.

[@sesameseame]

A sad ending for an amazing actor. 😟

[@porschialauren]

What happened to him ?

[@sesameseame]

@@porschialauren Accident. Happened when he went hiking.

[@thescorpionsy9011]

I feel bad too. He was a great actor. If you have not seen him in the 80s movie "Warlock"...do yourself a favour and check it out...he was excellent in that fun movie.

[@sesameseame]

@@thescorpionsy9011 Absolutely right.

[@SuperElbadri]

Beautiful cinematography by Peter Suschitzky

[@SAMTYLER1974]

Videodrome will always be my favourite but this is still top tier Cronenberg and a release I’ve been awaiting for what seems like forever. Great FX, a superb performance by Peter Weller and a fascinatingly bizarre adaptation of an admittedly ‘unfilmable’ source novel .. … ‘Now we just need ‘The Fly

[@DraftDodger-c1e]

I never thought I'd come across anyone else who had seen Videodrome lol what a trip

[@justinw7323]

This was a real movie? Nelson went and saw this on The Simpsons and thought the movie was wrongly advertised because of the title.

[@aliengirl420]

A very amazing real movie lol. But Nelson was 100% right😂

[@aliengirl420]

Videodrome and this are my all-time favorite movies, have been for years. I’m only 19 years old and am sad I couldn’t experience these for the first time in theaters. But on the couch after some edibles always makes for a good Friday night lol!! Such a masterpiece 🙏

[@SamM_Scot]

This is awesome. Please Arrow Films, can you guys do a 4K release of the incredible early 2000s Cronenberg film 'Spider' next please :-)

[@queenelmejor]

[@fumadorempedernido-l9z]

kinda crazy that Luca Guadagnino is making the sequel

[@joshmcguire1911]

US release when

[@merelmulders5846]

1991

[@aliengirl420]

⁠@@merelmulders5846this comment made me giggle 😭

[@stefanmovieflixtomasi]

This movie is like Barton Fink meshed with After Hours from Martin Scorsese

[@thegrimyeaper]

So very Kafka

[@Kurosawa3]

I might need to cop this. This on 4k sounds amazing. Saw it in theaters back then.

[@contracide]

I had to ask was this ever in theaters

[@elevenseven-yq4vu]

Better than the book it is based on, this film also entails parts from the original novel's author's life - all wrapped up into a new story taking place in a world based on the original "Naked Lunch".

[@ClayMann]

I always thought of it as taking someone elses work that didn't make any sense and just having those be lego pieces that Cronenberg could then run with and just do whatever the hell he wanted. He truly got to make the movie his creative heart desired which is very rare in higher budget movies. I don't think a film exists that looks anywhere near as good that's quite like it. Maybe Poor Things today could be a good example bending reality around a story without much care for it. But I do think of this as Cronenbergs movie. Fans of him are more likely to love it than fans of the book or books author.

[@elevenseven-yq4vu]

@@ClayMann Certainly applies to me. Burroughs was quite interesting, but Cronenberg speaks to me on a more visceral level.

[@shanksingh7613]

Wow

[@Jamescreaney]

I’ve written 2 books and loved this movie. Helps if you’re a writer as I could relate to everything happening.

[@Stevros999]

I've smoked a lot of pot and alcohol. Tonight and im sorry .. and someone explaine ( I'm tripping balls) it's Thomas Shelby ???

[@BenedictHarris]

Begging for a remake.

[@WhatzHappeningNow9]

Guaranteed they will ruin it lol

[@jbo4714]

No way!!!!

[@Niesrind]

Why ruin perfection?

[@BenedictHarris]

@@NiesrindI want to see a full-CGI remake sans puppets. Is that so wrong?

[@Talking_Ed]

@@BenedictHarris Yes the puppets are amazing why would you like CGI slop

[@jimcypher]

#mandibles 🎶😯

[@micahgerami3444]

More like Clothed Dinner.

Mind your own busness, israel is the best country🎉❤
