BURROUGHS (1983)


Interesting, if not overly long, look at the life of someone who lived a pretty crazy existence and did it on his own terms with the help of various substances. Burroughs talks about accidentally killing his wife during a drunken game of "William Tell", being a homosexual and other drug-fueled life stories. Patty Smith, Allen Ginsburg and others pop up too. Check it out if you're an old beatnik or just dig poetic insanity.
