<p>William S. Burroughs' <i>Naked Lunch</i> long resisted translation to the cinema, in large part due to its hallucinogenic imagery, its stark depiction of the nature of addiction, its frank portrayal of homosexual sex, and its large cast of surreal and unseemly characters. Despite those hindrances, several attempts were made in the 1970s. Antony Balch and Brion Gysin, longtime friends of Burroughs, admirably rose to the challenge, but their production fell through due to lack of funding.
