Is Cronenberg brilliant or insane or are those the same thing ?
I am a fan of Cronenberg but have never seen this film. When I heard that Videodrome stars Debby Harry I decided to watch it out of sheer curiosity.
It has a similar feel to the 90s ‘Naked Lunch’. The makeup and effects as well as the blending of reality and imagination of the main character.
The theme of how mass media effects our reality can be easily mapped now to the internet.
Long live the new flesh (of cyberspace)...
