| User ReviewJared SAnyone who was never interested in Burroughs will find this documentary surprisingly coherent. Hearing him speak will clarify the style in which you approach his work. The interview featured is brilliant, and the readings, of course, priceless. However, there's a much more interesting and thorough documentary about him called "Burroughs", which I highly recommend if you can find it. |
| User ReviewJack GIt is always interesting to listen to Burroughs talk. He has this amazing voice that just tickles all the way up your spinal column. The only problem is when people decide to focus more to the drug aspect of him than the spiritual aspect of his character. This movie has good moments but is a little to drug ambiance heavy. |
