So, 'Exterminate All Rational Thought' is this intriguing documentary that dives deep into the labyrinth of William S. Burroughs' 'Naked Lunch.' The interviews are fascinating, real talk from folks who either influenced or were influenced by Burroughs. The pacing feels almost hypnotic, blending archival footage with contemporary commentary that pulls you into that chaotic world. There's a tangible atmosphere of surrealism—often unsettling, yet oddly compelling. What stands out is how it visually translates the book's disjointed narrative with a mix of practical effects and artistic choices that feel raw. The performances in the interviews are candid, sometimes bordering on the confessional, and that gives it an edge. It’s like stepping into Burroughs' mind without needing to read the whole thing. Quite a ride, really.
