jimi l 12/28/2018 dreadful bore fest by a non professional sad See more 03/14/2016 Fairly stock-standard but enjoyable doco. Some great vintage footage and real insights into what a damaged, flawed, and brilliant artist Burroughs was. Also far more influential than I'd realised. The guy really destroyed some lives along the way though... See more 03/26/2015 Fascinating man. As a fellow eccentric I find the movie very inspiring. See more 09/26/2014 A tribute more than anything. Nothing too outstanding but keeps your attention. I like the animation. See more paul a 01/21/2014 Good doco. Some great interviews. "He's the only guy I've ever known to take yage, which is absolutely the sine qua non of hallucinogenic drugs. He's also the guy that Timothy Leary and Bhagavan Das had come over to Morocco and had him try psilocybin. He's the only guy I've heard of or known to take the original CIA's version of LSD, LSD6, which is like a horse-pill of insanity. I mean the stuff that I did as a hippy in the 60s was like bubblegum, was fools-gold, compared to the extensive experience this guy had. He was a walking pharmacologist." Peter Weller on William Burroughs See more 08/20/2012 An interesting movie about an interesting man. I'm particularly fond of the very creative animated chapter headings. See more Read all reviews
