The Cinema of David Cronenburg - From Baron of Blood to Cultural Hero

Informationen zum Autor Ernest Mathijs. n/a Klappentext David Cronenberg has become one of North America's most respected movie directors. Since the early seventies! the soft-spoken Baron of Blood has attracted widespread controversy with a steady stream of shock--sex crazed parasites in Shivers (1975)! exploding heads in Scanners (1981)! revolutionary flesh technology in Videodrome (1983)! mutating bugs in The Fly (1986)! car-crash scars in Crash (1996)! and psychopathic bursts of gun violence in A History of Violence (2005). This book provides an overview of Cronenberg's films in light of their international reception.
