I totally agree with something Cronenberg said about himself in a speech: he is a kind of art criminal who invested in "the tension that exists between the innate wildness of the art and the desired order of society. The crimes of art, the crimes of transgression, are not against the known laws of society, but against the unknown laws, the secret laws".

Há quem diga que no ambiente social em que crescemos nos é mostrado o caminho certo a seguir. No entanto, no meio de tanta gente a seguir o mesmo caminho, há sempre algumas pessoas que tentam abrir novos caminhos. O Cronenberg é uma dessas pessoas. O caminho que ele abriu é bizarro, assustador, psicótico, visceral e genial. Ainda bem que as suas ideias foram postas em prática no cinema. O homem bate mal.

Cosmopolis recently announced. Starring Robert Pattinson. Ouch?

Was originally supposed to be Colin Ferrell - an idea I like better but he dropped out, along with Marion Cotillard who was to co-star. Now it is as you mentioned: Pattinson and also Keira Knightley.

As much as I don't like the cast so far, I feel like I have to trust the decisions made. Perhaps I am too optimistic about this film's potential.

Cronenberg is one of the greatest and most unique horror directors out there today. His style is consistent and maintains an artistic direction as well as a commitment to making good, thrilling horror films.

I wouldn't call him a horror director, he's only made four horror films (Shivers, Rabid, The Brood, The Fly)

He is a wonderful director through and through but the body horror genre is his crowning achievement. I would even consider Naked Lunch, Dead Ringers, and Crash body horror films despite their dramatic narratives. Horror fiction can be very subtle.

And what about Scanners, Videodrome, and The Dead Zone?

As much as I wish he'd stop doing Oscar bait and go back to body horror, I have to admit that even his Oscar bait is pretty fly.

Could we get Shivers entered into the library? Definitely my favourite from Cronenberg's very early work.

Despite the horrific notion that Videodrome is being "remade" (written by the tool who wrote Transformers) at least we'll get a Blu-ray release of (arguably) Cronenberg's best film. Long live the new flesh...

The Brood is one of the worst films ever made.

Criterion should release his early work in an eclipse set. Shivers, Scanners, The Brood, and Rabid are all either no longer available on DVD or were released with poor quality.
