BURROUGHS: THE MOVIE
by Howard Brookner (USA/GB, 1983-2014, 90’ - restored copy, original versione with Italian subtitles)
With: William S. Burroughs, Patti Smith, Allen Ginsberg, Jackie Curtis, Francis Bacon
The film explores the life and times of controversial Naked Lunch author William S.Burroughs, with an intimacy never before seen and never repeated. The film charts the development of Burroughs’ unique literary style and his wildly unconventional life, including his travels from the American Midwest to North Africa and several personal tragedies. In Burroughs: the Movie sound was recorded by Jim Jarmusch, and images were shot by Tom DiCillo.
