About Pirates: William Burroughs in London
William S. Burroughs' disembodied statement "Boys, school showers, and swimming pools," repeats over and over again. The footage is tinted blue and orange, and features intercut scenes of the writer walking through the streets. The video culminates in final remarks by Burroughs, as the incessant audio fades into piano music.
Directed by Genesis P-Orridge, Antony Balch, Pirates: William Burroughs in London leans on a strong ensemble — William S. Burroughs, James Grauerholz — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1982.
