Cronenberg on Cronenberg by Chris Rodley
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". A section on "M. Butterfly" is also included.David Cronenberg is a filmmaker from Canada who has worked for more than four decades. Cronenberg was born in Toronto, Canada, and was honoured into the Canadian Walk of Fame in 1999. He was named an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2002, and the Carrosse d'Or, the Cannes Film Festival's lifetime achievement award, in 2006. He is also a member of France's Order of Arts and Letters (1990), and a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor (2009). Stereo, Crimes of the Future, The Dead Zone, The Fly, Naked Lunch, and M. are among Cronenberg's many feature films. Butterfly, Crash, A History of Violence, A Dangerous Method, and Cosmopolis (based on Don DeLillo's novel of the same name). Julianne Moore, Joan Cusack, and Robert Pattinson star in his most recent picture, A Map to the Stars, which premiered at the New York Film Festival in Fall 2014.
