Film series «David Cronenberg: The Original Body Horror»
The body as a territory of fear. That is the idea running through David Cronenberg: The Original Body Horror, a series through which Phenomena recovers two films that redefined horror cinema in the 1980s and established the Canadian director as an essential figure in the genre.
About this event
The programme brings together Videodrome (1983) and The Fly (La mosca, 1986), two works that explore physical transformation as a reflection of much deeper conflicts. In them, Cronenberg turns bodily mutation into a powerful metaphor for technology, identity, obsession and the limits of the human condition.
Far from seeking visual impact for its own sake, the filmmaker uses body horror to pose uncomfortable questions that remain fully relevant decades after their release. His stories unsettle as much through what they show as through what they suggest.
Seeing these films on the big screen makes it possible to appreciate the full force of a visual style that marked generations of filmmakers and viewers. An opportunity to revisit two classics that forever transformed the way horror is understood and showed that the most disturbing monster can emerge from the body itself.
