An illustrated monograph on the work of the legendary writer/director David Cronenberg, the master of body horror and cinematic provocations, behind films such as "The Fly," "Scanners," "Naked Lunch," "Eastern Promises," and "Crimes of the Future." David Cronenberg's films have long garnered a cult following, transcending the limits of taste, blending high art with horror, and balancing between commercial and cutting-edge. This beautiful book explores the familiar and unfamiliar aspects of iconic films such as "Videodrome," "The Fly," "Naked Lunch," and "Crash." While the division of the book into two halves suggests a duality, the Jung-inspired chapters within each half emphasize that this work—and the world itself—is in constant flux. The reader moves through these different phases (of Jungian individuation and therapy) and sees how recurring narrative, cultural, and visual themes intertwine. Instead of a straightforward narrative about a filmmaker, this book is a dreamlike exploration of all that is Cronenberg. It includes a foreword by Oscar-nominated actor Viggo Mortensen and interviews with composer Howard Shore, production designer Carol Spier, director of photography Peter Suschitzky, and producer and playwright/screenwriter Jeremy Thomas.
