Naked Lunch
Blank-faced bug killer Bill Lee and his dead-eyed wife, Joan, like to get high on Bill's pest poisons while lounging with Beat poet pals. After meeting the devilish Dr. Benway, Bill gets a drug made from a centipede. Upon indulging, he accidentally kills Joan, takes orders from his typewriter-turned-cockroach, ends up in a constantly mutating Mediterranean city and learns that his hip friends have published his work -- which he doesn't remember writing.

It's about a junkie writer who reaches new lows mentally and physically yet a high creatively. The whole movie follows an unlikeable man who is a living stereotype of what a creative hipster writer is. Drug issue. Check! Mental issue or delusions. Check! Isolation. Check! Some fashion oddity.
