Cronenberg on Cronenberg by David Cronenberg

David Cronenberg is one of the most controversial directors working in the cinema today - few directors in the commercial cinema have been so uncompromising. Specializing in "venereal horror", he has steadily worked his way into the mainstream, culminating in the world-wide success of "The Fly". This volume traces the career of this film-maker from his early fascination with science, through his emerging cinema career, to its culmination is his adaptation of William Burroughs' "The Naked Lunch".

Cronenberg, David: - David Cronenberg is a Canadian filmmaker whose career has spanned more than four decades. Born in Toronto, Canada, Cronenberg was inducted onto Canada's Walk of Fame in 1999. In 2002, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada, and in 2006 he was awarded the Cannes Film Festival's lifetime achievement award, the Carrosse d'Or; he is also an Officer in France's Order of Arts and Letters (1990), and a Chevalier in its Legion of Honor (2009). Cronenberg's many feature films include Stereo, Crimes of the Future, The Dead Zone, The Fly, Naked Lunch, M. Butterfly, Crash, A History of Violence, A Dangerous Method, and Cosmopolis (an adaptation of Don DeLillo's 2003 novel). His most recent film, A Map to the Stars, starring Julianne Moore, Joan Cusack, and Robert Pattinson, opened at the New York Film Festival in Fall 2014.
