Videodrome |
David Cronenberg / Canada / 1982 / 89 mins
/ James Woods, Deborah Harry |
"I wanted to posit the possibility that a man exposed to violent imagery would begin hallucinate. I wanted to see what it would be like if what the censors were saying would happen did happen." Cronenberg's tale of transmigration through technology explores the obsession of a cable TV programmer (Woods) and his thrill-seeking girlfriend (Harry) with satellite-beamed hardcore S&M movies. A journey to anxiety and lurid transformation. Long live the New Flesh!
