Why nobody put this rare documentary on mule? should be one of the best Burroughs documentary ever made, probably from a japanese old vhs.
This biographical documentary on author and eccentric William S. Burroughs (Naked Lunch), founder of the Beat Generation literary movement along with Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, is roughly divided into two segments. The first part has some witty scenes as the camera follows the author around to his various early haunts in the U.S., London, and Morocco. His friends are interviewed, including an interesting segment with Allen Ginsberg. In the second half of the film Burroughs becomes more of an exhibitionist than a subject, suggesting that discretionary editing would have made a smaller but better final version. — Eleanor Mannikka

Joder tethor, estás por todas partes... te acabo de ver en la ficha de The Dream Catcher.
En fin, ¿qué se puede decir de Burroughs?, pfff, mil cosas. Lo mejor es leerle. Yonki está bien, pero El Almuerzo Desnudo es una auténtica genialidad. Ahora que me acuerdo... no sé por qué motivo se lo acabé recomendando a una de lopus dei que conocí un día...
Bueno, tendré que ver este documental.
Thanks auess.
