Content:
Dokumentarfilm über den Schriftsteller und die Underground-Ikone William S. Burroughs. Im Fokus steht allerdings weniger das literarische Schaffen des Beat-Poeten als vielmehr dessen Rolle als schillernde Symbolfigur für die Bedeutung von Homosexualität und Drogen in der Populärkultur. Aus den Erinnerungen von Bewunderern und Weggefährten entsteht ein auf den subkulturellen Kreis beschränktes Bild Burroughs', das den weit darüber hinaus reichenden Einfluss des Schriftstellers völlig außer Acht lässt.

BURROUGHS: A MAN WITHIN is a probing, yet loving look at the man whose works at once savaged conservative ideals, spawned countercultural movements, and reconfigured 20th century culture. The film is narrated by Peter Weller, with a soundtrack by Patti Smith and Sonic Youth. Burroughs was one of the first writers to break the boundaries of queer and drug culture in the 1950's. His novel Naked Lunch is one of the most recognized and respected literary works of the 20th century and has influenced generations of artists. The intimate documentary breaks the surface of the troubled and brilliant world of one of the greatest authors of all time.
