2.0 out of 5 stars Lacking in substance, 31 Jan 2006
This review is from: Modern Fantastic (Paperback)
When I read the book I realized I was following an inter-academic fight on how to approach film analysis with Cronenberg being the victim. It is of little interest to readers whether they are on Grant's or Klevan's side (personally I'm in favour of Klevan). The truth of the matter is that his early work is largely neglected and the depth of analysis limited. The only saving grace is perhaps Murray's article and Cronenberg's interview to Xavier Mendik where quite appropriately Cronenberg says 'The problem only comes when you find that your film is analysed in terms of a filmmaker who is absolutely not me!'

Follow Cronenberg's advice and save your money!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Cronenberg lovers!, 21 Jan 2006
This review is from: Modern Fantastic (Paperback)
This is an excellent collection of essays about one of the greatest directors, David Cronenberg. I had the privilege to be taught by Michael Grant last year at kent University as an Undergraduate film student, and he certainly knows what he is talking about when it comes to Cronenberg. While Cronenberg is known for his controversial 'body horror', these essays examine his obsessive interest in the mutated or diseased body, sexual pathology, and radical scientific experimentation.I highly reccomend this book to anyone facinated with horror, or cinema.
