A drug-fueled fantasia on the nature of inspiration and the forces that can stifle it, David Cronenberg’s Naked Lunch is a mix of ideas that sometimes work and conceptions that often don’t, and its eventual success or failure as a film relates very clearly to how much hallucinogenic nonsense a viewer is willing to ingest in order to arrive at the writer-director’s very basic thematic proposition.
