Sam Neil's character in possession is a spy who has been operating on the other side of the Berlin Wall.
In Naked Lunch part of Bill Lee's drugged out reality is operating as an agent and receiving orders from his typewriter to uncover what Dr Benway is up to.
Both are legitmate picks given the criteria. |
in fact here's a brief synopsis for Naked lunch...
William Lee is an exterminator who finds that his wife Joan is stealing his insecticide (pyrethrum) to use as a drug to get high. When Lee is arrested by the police, he begins hallucinating because of "bug powder" exposure. He believes he is a secret agent with two handlers in the forms of a talking insectoid typewriter and an alien "Mugwump". The bug assigns him the mission of killing Joan. She is allegedly an agent of an organization called Interzone Incorporated. Lee dismisses the bug and its instructions and kills it. He returns home to find Joan having sex with Hank, one of his writer friends. Shortly afterwards, he accidentally kills her while attempting to shoot a drinking glass off her head in imitation of William Tell.
