ALL HAIL THE NEW FLESH


I found 'Cronenberg on Cronenberg' waiting for me on my entrance hall floor this evening. This is Faber and Faber's famed directors series entry on the Canadian master of 'body horror' cinema. I had been waiting for a revised and updated edition (this 2nd edition version only goes up to CRASH) but with no new post-HISTORY OF VIOLENCE/EASTERN PROMISES on the horizon I bit the bullet and ordered this one from PLAY.com

Think I'll have myself a mini-festival of Cronenberg movies soon. M BUTTERFLY, DEAD RINGERS and SHIVERS are certainly in the frame. As in NAKED LUNCH and THE BROOD. Any more suggestions?
