LONG LlVE THE NEW FLESH!
Combining the bio-horror eIements of his earlier fiIms whiIst anticipating the technologicaI themes of his Iater work, Videodrome exempIifies Cronenberg s extraordinary talent for making both visceraI and cerebraI cinema.
Max Renn (James Woods) is looking for fresh new content for his TV channeI when he happens across some iIlegaI S&M-style broadcasts caIIed Videodrome . Embroiling his girlfriend Nicki (Debbie Harry) in his search for the source, his journey begins to blur the lines between reality and fantasy as he works his way through sadomasochistic games, shady organisations and body transformations stunningly reaIised by the Oscar-winning makeup effects artist Rick Baker.
Hailed by his contemporaries John Carpenter ( he s better than aII of us combined ) and Martin Scorsese ( no one makes films Iike he does ) as a genius, Videodrome, was Cronenberg s most mature work to date and stiII stands as one of his greatest.
