This just might be the best documentary to come out this year.The voice or the narrator is Peter Weller, also known for his impersonation of Paul Verhoeven’s RoboCop.
The film, which chronicles Burroughs’ life, including his childhood, death of his wife, the 1966 banning of his novel Naked Lunch by the U.S. government, and more, features exclusive interviews with past collaborators, Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth, Laurie Anderson, Throbbing Gristle’s Genesis P-Orridge, directors John Waters, Gus Van Sant, and David Cronenberg, Jello Biafra, and Stooge Iggy Pop. You seriously should check out the clip of Iggy’s insane commentary in the trailer above.
