If the late novelist William Burroughs sat you on his knee for some words of advice then your mother might have something to say about it. Not because he's six feet under, but because the beatnik legend corrupted a fair few minds in his time, spending his last opiate-addicted years shooting spray paint cans onto blank canvases.

Biopics are perhaps the suckiest genre in all of cinema. Interesting lives almost never translate to interesting cinema, and their main appeal is showing one famous person pretend to be another famous person, like a celebrity drag-show. So why is the hallucinatory biopic of cult author William Burroughs, NAKED LUNCH, so good?
Director David Cronenberg takes Burroughs’ life and runs it through the filter of Burroughs’ fiction.
