Unlike a lot of authors, William S. Burroughs is not the kind of writer you can learn about by reading his work, at least not to the degree he’s dissected in this fascinating film. Like the man it focuses on, the documentary doesn’t shy away from the more lurid details of Burrough’s life, from his descent into drug addiction to the details surrounding the shooting of his wife. What saves it from being a total abloid experience is the way the film also makes sure it puts the spotlight n the mans work and the way it changed modern literature forever.
