PLOT SUMMARY
A look at the works of Canadian director David
Cronenberg.
CAPSULE REVIEW
An excellent documentary made shortly after the release of Cronenberg's
The Fly
(1986) which allows the director and his supporters and detractors full
rein to discuss the many complex issues surrounding his films. Cronenberg
comes across as a fascinating if at times rather odd character who always
has something interesting to say - much like his films in fact. Essential
viewing if rather hard to find these days.
