This dude is an awesome, but quirky director... He made audience appealing and box-office winners like 'The Fly' 1996, 'A history of violence' 2005 and 'Eastern Promises' 2007 and then he made really strange and odd films like 'Dead Ringers' 1988, 'Naked Lunch' 1991 and 'Crash' 1996.

He's obviously a tortured genius.

The opening scene of Scanners scared the hell out of me as a twelve year old kid, but it was interesting years later as adult to learn about the behind the scenes work involved creating that famous scene.

That Fly an Videodrone movies are great.

The synopsis of that film sounds beyond morbid, even for me.
I may want to read the book, if it’s a published novel, but not rushing to see this in the flesh and in full color.

I saw David Cronenberg on an episode of Star Trek: Discovery a while back. I looked it up and he’s a regular character on the series.

“Wife of 43 years”. Impressive for a Hollywood artiste.

Cronenberg. Third favorite director of all times. The first being Kubrick. Second being Friedkin.

I don’t think tortured. He’s pretty chill. Other than a messy divorce in the 70s he doesn’t have a lot of life drama. He just channels his inner darkness into movies well, and seems to leave most of it there. Interviews I’ve seen with him he’s constantly smiling and laughing.

Definitely a genius though. Incredibly talented director. Even his movies I don’t like the craft of them blows me away.

Don't forget "Scanners", I just watched it because Patrick McGoohan was in it.
