Naked Lunch.... One of Cronenberg's most polarizing films, but I watched the Criterion Blu a few weeks ago having gone some years since the last time I saw the film and I consider it one of Cronenberg's finest works. I remember when this came out the Horror press crucified the film - John Martin's fanzine Giallo Pages was particularly vitriolic in its hatred for the film. Aside from one disastrous special effect late in the show, I think the film is a brilliant mood piece...
