eXistenZ (1999)
Bio-mechanical
After seeing this film, I know understand Cronenberg completely. I always loved Videodrome and its bio-mechanical props, like the gun being part of body. Now i see that this is an obsession with Cronenberg.
In my opinion, this is a remake of Videodrome (in visuals, not in plot). It succeeds in being a greater film in its own self, being different to videodrome in plot, but taking the bio-mechanics idea one step further.
What can I say.
Simply Superb.
Remote Control (1988)
VHS obsessed
I like this film alot. It is quite like Videodrome in that the whole movie is obsessed with itself and also obsessed with video formats and makes references to the video revolution of the 1980's.
Blow Job (1963)
where the art?
I saw this in an art house theatre and when the feature was over comments could be heard like "such artistic talent" etc.
Well I love Warhol's paintings, him being my favourite artist, but found that this film was frankly boring. I could see no logic as to why this should be a film and not a painting where it would work much better. It does not hold your attention for more than 2 minutes.
To be honest.. boring tripe. Avoid at all costs. Go to a gallery and see his real art... superb. The only great Warhol film I've actually seen is Harlot, not listed in the imdb.
