David Cronenberg: Interviews with Serge Grunberg
Ever since his emergence from the Canadian cinematic underground during the late 1960s, David Cronenberg has challenged and disturbed audiences with works that range from cutting-edge commercial to cult-fave studies in body horror and existential despair. This collection of new interviews by critic Serge Gr nberg examines Cronenberg from his career's uncertain beginnings through his ascendancy to master filmmaker. Cronenberg talks candidly about aesthetics, censorship, sexuality, the straightjacket of political correctness, and the ephemeral sense of reality in an age saturated with mass media. Each of his landmark films is discussed in detail, accompanied by stills, rare handbills and posters, and storyboards that show the creative process at work. Detailing both his textbook masterpieces -- works like Videodrome, Naked Lunch, and The Fly -- and his more edgy films such as the transsexual romance M. Butterfly and the bloody cyberpunk epic Existenz, these interviews shed light on one of cinema's most talented and misunderstood creators.

Great infomative read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
few directors are actually good at giving intelligent yet enaging interviews..or DVD audio commentaries for that matter..Cronenberg is one of the few, this book covers everything from his early doubts and stuggles to make films, as well as his continuing fascination with the realtionship his characters have to their bodies and the particularly complex situations they find themselves in..I only wish the book had color stills, as Cronenberg is one of the very few subtle visualists we have working today..but the texts are well worth the read..
