Oeuvre: David Cronenberg: Naked Lunch

By Jake Cole
6 days ago
in :  Features, Film, Oeuvre

Oeuvre: David Cronenberg: Dead Ringers

By A.C. Koch
2 weeks ago
in :  Features, Film, Oeuvre

After the box office success of The Fly in 1986, David Cronenberg’s options were wide open to command the kind of production budget that had eluded him up to that point in his career.

By Josh Goller
November 19, 2020
in :  Features, Film, Oeuvre

Despite the film’s flaws, Cronenberg offers a cynical take on late capitalism, the pharmaceutical industry and the increasing technological connectivity of the pre-internet era.

Oeuvre: David Cronenberg: The Brood

By Josh Goller
November 12, 2020
in :  Features, Film, Oeuvre

Conceived from personal turmoil, The Brood infused a new kind of humanity into Cronenbergian grotesquery.

Oeuvre: David Cronenberg: Fast Company

By Jesse Cataldo
November 5, 2020
in :  Features, Film, Oeuvre

Oeuvre: David Cronenberg: Rabid

By Jake Cole
October 29, 2020

Oeuvre: David Cronenberg: Shivers

By Josh Goller
October 22, 2020
in :  Features, Film, Oeuvre
