The Pocket Essential David Cronenberg

For nearly thirty years David Cronenberg has been terrorising the cinema-going public. His most famous films have become bywords for screen controversy and the breaking of film taboos - be it exploding heads (Scanners, 1980), hallucinogenic pornography (Videodrome, 1982) deranged gynaecologists (Dead Ringers, 1989) or 'sex 'n' wrecks (Crash, 1997). This new pocket guide provides the reader with an introductory essay on this acclaimed auteur, an analysis of each of his films that uncovers and explores their reccuring themes and an extensive reference.
