A Dangerous Method: David Cronenberg & The Cost of Being Human

This course will explore the multiple worlds of David Cronenberg and the transformations of the body at the heart of them all.

With the release of new neo-noir thriller The Shrouds, we take a one-day deep dive in to the darkworld oeuvre of director David Cronenberg.



To some, David Cronenberg is the body horror specialist of The Fly, Videodrome or Scanners. To others, the provocateur behind Crash and Naked Lunch. Or maybe it's the dark dramatist who gave us A History of Violence and A Dangerous Method. He's even cropped up recently as a laconic actor (as he has from time to time) in the Star Trek universe.

In short, there are many David Cronenbergs. All of whom are stalwart Canadians and all of whom share a unique vision of what it is to be human.

This course, presented by fellow Canuck filmmaker Kenton Hall, will explore the multiple worlds of David Cronenberg and the transformations of the body at the heart of them all.
