“Naked Lunch” (裸のランチ), Original Japanese Movie Poster 1992, First Japanese Release, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O161

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1992 for the first domestic theatrical release of Naked Lunch (裸のランチ), directed by David Cronenberg and adapted from William S. Burroughs’ novel. First-issue Japanese posters for Cronenberg’s Burroughs fever-dream are highly collectible.

Film background
Exterminator-turned-writer Bill Lee (Peter Weller) slips into the hallucinatory sprawl of Interzone, where typewriters breathe, handlers manipulate, and identity liquefies. Cronenberg fuses memoir and sci-fi noir into a meditation on addiction, authorship, and control—co-starring Judy Davis, Ian Holm, Roy Scheider, and Julian Sands.

Poster design
A moody, two-panel country sheet: at top, Weller’s Bill Lee crouches in a ruin bathed by shafts of blue light under the line “Welcome to INTERZONE.” The lower half is a bold red field dominated by the sweeping calligraphic title 「裸のランチ」 and a grotesque creature vignette, with English invitation copy: “David Cronenberg and William Burroughs invite you to ‘Naked Lunch’.” Minimal credits and distributor details sit along the base—classic hallmarks of a first-release sheet with striking wall presence.
