A masterclass with David Cronenberg

[@yer_old_pal_Jerky]

Cronenberg is a wonderful speaker. Brilliant man. His off-the-cuff (literally) riffing on his watch telling him to stand is proof of that!

[@logan97327]

I love his references and mentions like Lynch, trufflaut, and various school of thoughts behind them

[@crossface5710]

out of all the top horror directors, david appears to have given the most public interviews

[@AaaSWE]

I would love to see a movie with a script from David Lynch directed by David Cronenberg.

[@EasternRomeOrthodoxy]

Both of them are more pathetic than each other😅 Your Cronenberg mentioned Hawks, right? Well better not waste your time with their sick pretentious garbage and watch HIS films, especially from the 30s - when cinema peaked

[@ErynRea]

eau d'Kodak ! cracking up, this guy is great

[@KemptonLam]

14:53 re making movie from Stephen King's novel of "The Dead Zone". Special praise from King. 17:42 re David Lynch (Thanks to commenter @Zetetik's link below, here's "an old interview where Lynch talks about Cronenberg" where I added the specific timecode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g57We6mIZ9iJo6Mm28s ) Great Lynch interview by itself! Thanks @Zetetik!

What a wonderful video. Thanks for uploading!

Thanks for the upload.!

[@MrRandomcommentguy]

After listening to this the take-away is, you have to be out of your mind to want to get into the modern film industry...

[@wilmingtonlongman]

That would explain a lot of mindless content

Verhoeven knows how to have a good time

graciass.,.... graciass. desde argentinaaa... salu2

[@retter2critical]

Cronenberg talks about Alien having taken some stuff from Shivers .... Well, Scanners takes a lot from De Palma's The Fury.

[@specialsnowfake6744]

That avatar bad boy bubba? its on my watch list.

[@retter2critical]

Yes it is! Oh, watch it as soon as you can. Fantastic film.

[@specialsnowfake6744]

Port Film Co-op I was just thinking of it! Well it's a sign so I'm gonna make a tea and watch it.

[@retter2critical]

Let me know what you think ... Interesting Q and A with director and sound designer on our channel ...

[@specialsnowfake6744]

Port Film Co-op It was a ride. Pretty deep movie about a lot of human aspects. Funny at times. Obviously dark and unpleasant also, but that just made the end even better.

he raises some great points about how studios operate. it brought to mind the way sony made the ghostbusters reboot. they didnt care about anything except that it had women in the lead roles, was abusive towards men in general, and contained some half arsed sociology lecture about sexism. you can tell they never even bothered to pay attention to the lead cast, they picked the wost actresses they could find. even funnier was the fact that the film bombed massively yet the liberal critics and the guy who made the film, still declared it a roaring success because it got a huge backlash from the gb fanbase. sony didnt make that film to make money, or be artistic. they made it to take a few cheap shots at the imaginary patriarchal boogeyman these studios seem determined to convince us all, actually exists.

[@fandude7]

"Canadian filmmaking (funded by the govt) is independent filmmaking"? How so? It's the very opposite of being independent. One is dependent on the Gov't for funds.

[@bobjoe1593]

21:29 yeah that weinstein guy's a real jerk

[@FranticAnimations]

Total Recall terrible? Come on, Dave, it's on the same level as some of your classics.

[@FranticAnimations]

@@michaelgove9349 I prefer world cinema to American cinema too but Total Recall is one of my favourite films ever.

[@plasticweapon]

eh...maybe the other way around. even then, not sure. everybody thinks they're two peas in a pod, but really they're not.

[@monkeybrainspit]

The interviewer really needs more practice interviewing people. I'm almost an hour in and all he's done is name David's films in chronological order. Nervous or not - when you're in the privileged position of conversing with an influential artist, you should do your due diligence and offer something thought provoking for all involved. I hope he's at least learned from this encounter.

[@clutch8685]

Two gynecologists twins who kill themselves? How Cronenberg is that?

[@FoodforThought12345678dsds]

He should really take some tips from the guys who directed Movie 43
