Ever since his emergence from the Canadian cinematic underground, David Cronenberg s films have marked out the uncharted terrain where the mind and body meet. His films combine a disturbing style of body horror with an uncertainty of the nature of reality itself, particularly in Videodrome, Naked Lunch, Existenz, and now Spider. This collection of new interviews examines the unique career of the director who also created such sci-fi horror hits as Scannersand The Fly. In reference to his films, Cronenberg also speaks wittily and accessibly about aesthetics, censorship, sexuality, political correctness, and the ephemeral sense of reality in our mass media-saturated age.
