Product Description

From the Back Cover
Almost everything you need to know in one essential guide.

Who is David Cronenberg? Mild-mannered, bespectacled professor-next-door, or Canadian psycho? Intellectual, erudite auteur of slaughter, or dangerous peddler of sick, perverted visions? One thing beyond question is that David Cronenberg is, quite simply, unique.

In fact, few film-makers better suit the term auteur than Cronenberg, who for thirty years has consistently explored 'difficult' territory. Using the horror genre as a vehicle to unflinchingly confront his own psyche, he has created a celluloid body of personal visions unparalleled in modern cinema, examining the areas at the borders of existence with surgical curiosity. His domain is the depths of the human mind and his quest, in his own words, is "to show the unshowable, to speak the unspeakable." From the gross-out assault of his debut feature Shivers, to the steely 'sex and wrecks' Crash and beyond, Cronenberg's images and atmospheres pervade one's consciousness; taking root in the mind, they strike in unguarded moments.

What's in this book? As well as an introductory essay, each of the films is reviewed and analysed. In addition, common themes and concerns are dissected. In addition, common themes and concerns are dissected. And there's a handy reference section listing other books, interesting websites and the availability of his films.
