Naked Lunch (1991)Directed by David Cronenberg I watched this surreal 1991 movie on @tubi a couple of days ago. It stars Peter Weller as William Lee, an exterminator in 1953 New York. The bug powder he uses is a highly addictive substance, he experiences hallucinations involving talking bugs and a conspiracy. You have to be in the right frame of mind to watch this movie, it’s certainly not for everyone. It has a mystery/thriller vibe to it but at times you’ll be puzzled as to what’s actually going on. As can be expected from Cronenberg, there are some scenes of disgusting body horror and gooey stuff reminiscent of his “Videodrome” and “eXistenZ”. I enjoyed the movie myself, apparently Cronenberg took elements from the source novel and other writings by author William S Burroughs and fashioned them into this screenplay.The movie involves typewriters morphing into talking bugs, this is one such bit from the film. The drawing was done with 0.5 mm 4B mechanical pencil on A5 notebook. Swipe to see a scan. The third slide here has a short video clip (from roughly around 52 and a half min into the movie), the sound at the end is the zombieman death sound from “Doom” and “Doom II”. It’s actually the sound of a camel!The movie also has an interesting title sequence inspired by Saul Bass, utilising text in different weights. I guess the font used was Futura. It’s very nicely designed!#karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch #shotoniphone #pencildrawing#629 / 7-Dec-21
