Cronenberg D's A Dangerous Method (2011)
A story weaving Carl Jung and Sig Freud though a 'muse' patient. The trio's past had a big impact in their lives. As we swayed between Magic-Science in Nolan's Prestige, here too we oscillate between conflicting theories and practices. The fact that these were real people who lived recently makes the movie all the interesting.
Cosmopolis (2012)
Based on D.Dellilo's book, both artists try to predict future. Everything mixes, overlaps - work, sex, workout, medical examination even for a billionaire on his way to barber (probably only hair grows naturally rest of world is controlled 'on time'). The words in their conversations look distorted to us and meaningless - we don't catch their language, humor or any type of communication. As the plot thickens, we feel as if the modern world almost found the 'pattern' in everything - only to find that nature will introduce 'distortions' when needed.
Videodrome (1983)
Considered to be Cronenberg's Masterpiece, videodrome is not an easy watch. More like his 'Cosmopolis', he was hinting the future of TV, Movies, Porn, Feelings & Hallucinations. Since the beginning people are becoming more and more 'glued' to the images on TV, Internet, Movies, shows and so on & in fact the 'medium' is the new flesh. By now, we know how it ends but don't have a choice.
