David Cronenberg On Strombo: Full Interview

www.strombo.com
Director David Cronenberg discusses his latest film 'Cosmopolis' with George.

[@ummagumma00]

David is a fucking genius. He wrote the screenplay for Naked Lunch in one fell swoop....Naked Lunch??? The man is genius!

[@khalidamajoud2437]

My favorite movie director. A master!

[@manfromthehorizon3870]

If it hadn't been for Cronenberg, Canada would NOT have a film industry.

Long live the new flesh!

[@KarlHainer]

Cronenberg's movies just keep getting better.

[@CpmDoyle]

Great interview!

[@rjwusher]

Wow. This is actually a pretty decent interview. Cronenberg is also very funny. LOL about the awkward talking head webcam actor interview insert.

[@BelatedCommiseration]

I think David Cronenberg is great. Theres no pretension of treading on egg shells with the man. You ask him about the process and he tells you. You as him about working with actors and he will tell you in a funny and insightful way. To my mind thst what puts him slightly above David Lynch (who, whilst no in the same vein, also explores similar themes of estrangment and th beyond of physicality and reality) who just sort of acts as if his directing method is some big secret he can't elaborate on.

[@manfromthehorizon3870]

I did have the good fortune to work with Jay Baruchal. He was a cool guy.

[@SoyCube52]

LOL Fist Bump INDEED!

[@valerielebreton6831]

[@sixamsedna]

I prefer The Hour to any of the US 'talk shows'

[@Assilemy]

My goodness. Who cares about socks?

[@TheCurval]

cronenberg completely trashes the twilight saga. well done

[@Mr06261984]

he basically admits the movie is bad when he says don't just turn the book into a film and then he goes and turns the book into a literal film of it.

[@peteagassi]

If he's traveling so far to get a haircut, shouldn't his hair NOT be so perfect? Directing FAIL!

[@TheBaronsamedi88]

oh please. Like when I see a pile of bricks in an art gallery I only see bricks. Not the eternal struggle between man and insect or some other artistic bullshit. COSMOPOLIS is just a shit film. Period.

[@TheBaronsamedi88]

cosmopolis is the worst film i've ever watched. Almost.
