most are censored. He's grandfathered. This is a political film because our governments are demanding we give up our bodily autonomy. I'm against the mandates because I don't want to surrender my body to new tech experiments. At WEF they said in ten years we won't have smart phones because they'll be in our bodies. The future will be body horror but if you're against giving tech the rights over our bodies our funded media tells us we are anti vax. The argument is silenced just like art that challenges in any way nowadays. Movies have become power fantasies for 14 years olds. Questioning anything now makes you a right wing extremist.
32:28 Cronenberg looks so thrilled by that idea lmao. He seems so incredibly fascinating and warm, and you can still see so much youthfulness inside him when he smiles or gets excited about talking about certain ideas. What an incredibly intelligent and gentle person, and a great interview. Especially for a guy who brings nightmares to life lol.
Can we just acknowledge how clear and eloquent he sounds like and he looks really good for 79. Don't know what his secret is but I need some of it. Also the movie was a breath of fresh air. Seeing Titane and now Crimes of the Future is so great for body horror fans. Of course Titane being directly influenced by Cronenberg's Crash. Crimes of the Future has a great idea, very good opening and does deliver on the body horror side. It just felt like the edit was a little rushed and some of the plot lines were not developed enough, the narrative jumps from one thing to the other and there is so much potential in developing some of those side stories. I am afraid I did not manage to feel involved in the emotion that was portrayed by Lea Seydoux or Viggo Mortensen.
Can't imagine my life without David Cronenberg films! They have gotten me through some of the toughest times in life and so grateful that he is gracing us with a new film being the complete first and unique writer & director to bring his immaculate talent and real life horror to life in his films that has inspired me to write! Thanks for making our lives worth living with your films like The Fly and The Dead Zone that I have watched all my life. Couldn't be happier to see his return and what a come back with his new amazing film too! All of them are the greatest!!!🤗💓🙏
"Comeback"? When was he ever gone? But, in the non rhetorical question department; Do you know of he is related to American actor Ted Danson? Minus the age difference, they look so much alike.
A+ interviewer. So smart and so many times that he could have interrupted but didn't and let the man speak. Aware of his own intellect but realizing it's not about him. Said what needed to be said when it was needed to be said. The restraint that takes to not unleash all your great knowledge at once and let David Cronenberg cook. First class
This guy is a genius, I'm so psyched to see this movie. The return of the king! You don't know how happy I am that my favorite director is going back to his roots with such an awesome premise for a movie he wrote long ago. And what a great interviewer. Long live the new flesh 😈
Just finished seeing the film and it's great to see David in top form. While not for all audiences - only one other person in the theater - it's definitely an amazing film and kudos to Howard Shore's marvelous score, Carol Spier's production design, cinematographer Douglas Koch and the acting of Viggo, Lea and Kristen.
Cronenberg's movies usually aren't for all audiences which is why they're so great. I think the best art is the art that speaks to you as an individual and isn't designed to be appealing to everyone.
@@xenos_n. There was a venue in Vestavia Hills, Al that tried to be an arthouse theater and first up was Crash. I traveled sixty miles to see it and having seen all of his films was on that wavelength. Packed house in an auditorium that seated around 100. First walkouts about ten minutes in. Twenty minutes before the film ended I was the only person remaining. I thought this is a great film and WTF were all these people expecting? Had they read the book, seen the Cannes reviews or even understood the themes? Sadly, the theater shuttered some weeks later. Long love any Cronenbergian flesh.
@@HenryRosenbush oh if any film of his had everyone walk out, it would be Crash 😂 ... It's definitely an evocative and bizarre movie that's almost offensive to the senses. But isn't that why it's good? If David Cronenberg did not make that version of Crash, then who would? It's not like a terrible movie that should never have been made. It's a movie that I haven't seen for a LONG time and I still think about it every so often, and that should say something.
I adore this man, such a visionary. Crimes of the future was incredible. I loved that the small scene at the end, held so much meaning and emotion. The actors were all brilliant. I would die for Cronenberg to work with Clive Barker again on a project... It would be terrifying and profound.
Take it from someone in healthcare, if you stay slim/exercise, don't smoke or drink excessively, and yeah have a bit of luck in not getting cancer, you too can be really active and healthy through to your 90s potentially.
Fantastic interview! His kindness intelligence and contemplative nature shines through. Like lynch the heavy subject matter of his work is approached with an inquisitive and kind mind.
"We love your stuff, we want to work with you. Just not THIS!" = brilliant. Even on a very small scale, I had these conversations MANY times over the years ;)
and especially the experience of stripping your own material down, stripping of EVERYTHING that makes it unique, taking their direction, until they say THIS DOES NOT WORK ... and you just want to hit your head against the wall ....
Incredible interview, a lot of themes and concepts David talks about, like the body, and him having studied Cell Biology initially, as well as his appearance, drinking from a coffee cup, his youth despite his age really remind me of Ray Peat, or David Lynch, not to detract from who he is thru comparison, but the similarities are so interesting, and so is he.
It is very nice to look at such a great creative modern director! and despite his age, with each new film he touches on topics that are very relevant!❤ I know that many people will find Crime of the Future boring. but I am sure that in 10-15-20 years it will be relevant, perhaps it will predict the future! just like his movie Videodrome partially predicted Darknet, Redroom Internet and more! Thank you for this video 😊❤
This is such a great interview! David is obviously a massive talent while still being grounded and kind. But the interviewer, Tom, is really good too; so easy going and asking intelligent questions. They have great rapport. 👍
He's an amazing person. His designs his ideas he has for these movies r creep in a beautiful way. I'm excited to see crimes of the future and hope cronenberg does more body horror in the future. We need more movie makers like him that use barely any cgi for his films and sticks to animatronics to puppetering. 🙂🙂
How fascinating and what an admirable person!! Even if I don't enjoy all his movies, and personally I hated Crimes of the Future, I still really really appreciate his ambition and creativity enormously and certainly have found many of his movies to be absolute masterpieces!!
There are many films that I enjoy, but can only mentally, emotionally, watch once. Many of them are from Cronenberg. He’s the only one I can think of off the top of my head, that can still invoke nightmares in me as an adult. I’ll need to wait to be in a very happy place before I watch this film, but I will watch it. Happy Nightmares. Edit: Great interview, by the way. Subscribed.
Twelve. Mother let me see The Fly with her in theater. Entered at the chip in bed scene. Howard Shore's DIVINE score. It is the distinct moment I learned what genius is. Everything on that screen is a sacred memory. Two years after my mother brought to me the k-7 and in 1991 Shore did it again as I watched yet another masterpiece that shared his presence. Cronenberg spotted Shore due to his own brilliance and we are ĺucky to have either of them. I still think of The Fly as their very best.
Saw Crimes at the cinema recently and thought it was really interesting. My only disappointment was that the daily mail uk tabloid didn't brand it 'beyond depravity' as they had with crash, makes a great quote on the billboard 🙂
I felt like it had a lot more control than Crash did. All of the disturbing material felt grounded and almost normal for the world, which made it more unsettling, whereas Crash was just... Ick
Although I am a Christian , I love most of his films, I can't wait to see his new movie and i believe he is one of the coolest guys ever in the art of cinema...
I watched the film over the weekend. I thought I was prepared but the film continued to surprise and most shockingly made me think. The last image of Viggo, reduced to grayscale, lasts. This is an adult film with adult themes that has guts
I have a feeling that David saved Robert Pattinson's career when no one took him seriously, obviously Pattinson had to spend at least 10 years for people were able to see him as a talented actor and not a teenage vampire. As a result, he earned everyone's respect with his The Batman role, to be frank he's the new Daniel Day-Lewis of these times.
Still trying to figure out why people at the premiere left vomiting at the end, I think that story made me expect far worse than what was shown. Very thought provoking film, even if it doesn't land every thread it launches.
Just watched the movie. Very interesting and thought provoking but I wanted to see more of the world and some loose ends tied up lol. The thing is, I genuinely don’t see how movies like this are financially viable nowadays. This is an extremely niche movie and I can’t see it making much of its budget back, which really means these films are a dying art. In the past movie nerds like me (us) would buy the physical release, make the movie a cult classic and it would make a good bit of it’s money back and some even become very successful with time. Now the films get put on streaming services and make less overall, physical media is harder to find if they release a physical copy at all and this kind of movie only shows in select theaters basically resulting in a loss. I hope I’m wrong but I don’t know how many more of these genuinely interesting and original movies we will have going forward. At least the Cronenbergs can get funding lol.
*_So...Cronenberg doesn't have his personal editions of his movies? His personal Director's Cuts? Meaning there's no chance of longer editions of any of his movies?_*
the Viggo character who practices body harm as performance art made me think of Bob Flanagan. I saw the doc on him (made by Kirby Dick who did other stellar docs).It was very farout what Bob did to his flesh
Have always enjoyed DC style. Intelligent and probing. Grotesque allure. But Minority Report best captures the possibilities. Look forward to more. Peace JF
What a national treasure - warm, down-to-earth, unassuming, yet fiercely intelligent. We need more artists and provocateurs like him.
Not in this day & age mate all dumb as fuck.
One of the very few times I will go to the cinema this year.
the real deal (to some extent anyway) ... good movie!

I absolutely loved crimes of the future, it was so visionary and unique and the story was small scale but had rich thorough worldbuilding
I had a total hip replacement done a month before seeing this movie, so can totally relate to it.
I can’t stop fingering my scar.
he seems so sane and modest for those movies
I love you so much, great movie. I also liked Maps to the stars so much. Expecting the next one with Vincent Cassel, damn!!!!!

I always expect him to speak with a British accent.
IDK why.

When was he ever gone?
But, in the non rhetorical question department; Do you know of he is related to American actor Ted Danson?
Minus the age difference, they look so much alike.
Ok, his final statement, at literally at the end of the video, was incredible. About having children and understanding of human being is.
this is one of the best cronenberg interviews i have seen...

A wonderful interview with a true artist. Thank you.
My god this was truly a heartwarming encounter
I wish this man knew just how much I adore him. I could listen to him speak all day. I love his mind.
This guy is a genius, I'm so psyched to see this movie. The return of the king! You don't know how happy I am that my favorite director is going back to his roots with such an awesome premise for a movie he wrote long ago. And what a great interviewer. Long live the new flesh 😈
You will _not_ be disappointed.
@@KeithOtisEdwards I _was_ disappointed.
@@TheWelchProductions Have you ever tried any consciousness-expanding chemicals? They might help expand your consciousness.
Wonderful and an pleasure to watch.❤
I didn’t think he could make another film as strange and extraterrestrial as Cosmopolis, but good lord, this one certainly comes close.
I liked this new one it left me with more to think about but Cosmopolis is the better film I believe
Wow. I now have even more respect for that man.

There were a total of 7 people for my screening, and everyone but my brother and I shuffled out very quickly after that fantastic ending. 🤔
The dead Zone was an amazing movie. I thought it was boring when I was 15 and didn't watch it all but I watched it this year and 2 big thumbs up!
The Dead Zone is a Stephen King book but David Cronenberg did awesome job directing it
What an absolutely delightful interview! It's so nice to see that after all these years, Cronenberg's still got it.
I adore this man, such a visionary. Crimes of the future was incredible. I loved that the small scene at the end, held so much meaning and emotion. The actors were all brilliant.
I would die for Cronenberg to work with Clive Barker again on a project... It would be terrifying and profound.
Such a wonderful auteur. So warm and engaging.
Listening to him is the equivalent of watching his films.
He looks amazing for 79.

I just rewatched The Brood and ExistenZ. So awesome.
He's so sharp. how old is this guy? He's always been so intelligent. I love him.
A beautiful man who makes me proud to be around when he is. A true artist, writer, director and free thinker.

Being from the US and having lived in Toronto a few years, I have to say, Canadians like Cronenberg represent the culture well.
I stopped midway through this vid to go watch the movie and it was spectacular
Just watched it. Amazing, amazing, amazing
Cronenberg is the kind of guy that had entered the Event Horizon portal and came back with lots of ideas
The MASTER; a wonderful film maker and a glorious human.
Such a genius, long live David Cronenberg.
A fascinating artist with a probing intelligence, a true gentleman of class and taste.
A new Cronenberg movie?! Sweeeet! Can’t wait to check this out.
Take it with a whole salt shaker.
Fantastic interview. I would love to just talk to David Cronenberg.
Great interview!

Cronenberg made my favourite horror film, The Fly!
Daviv Cronenberg is a class act.
What a fantastic interview was a master and legend. Great job. 👏🏻
Just another gem of an interview by Tom Power
Love this mad man
Living legend.
Love David Cronenberg
I hope to be like him at 79
What a cool guy!
3:39 What a wonderful Idea! 😃
How could that not be a good thing?
as soon as it started I knew it was him
Noooooooooooo. It ended. I nedd more, more David, more, moreeeee
Although I am a Christian , I love most of his films, I can't wait to see his new movie and i believe he is one of the coolest guys ever in the art of cinema...
What does your religion have to do with your taste in movies?
Also a Christian and love his films. He’s commenting on our Fallen World, which is a biblical reality and therefore in line with the gospels.
I watched the film over the weekend. I thought I was prepared but the film continued to surprise and most shockingly made me think. The last image of Viggo, reduced to grayscale, lasts. This is an adult film with adult themes that has guts
This is the best description of what the movie is about. S
Wow first time I watch an interview of him. Never heard him speak before. I like his accent, from what part of Canada is he?
great openness
Excellent movie. Another masterpiece by the man. Tempted to give the other guy a sub😛
i love this man!!!!!!!!
Great interview, not familiar with Tom Power but he did a great job!
The more the man ages the more he looks like Vincent price

JEDI by Cronneberg . . . my head just exploaded 😎☕💋
He's a master of horror, the skin-crawling kind that's impossible to look away from.
Eating plastic can solve world famine.
It doesn’t get more Cronenberg than that.
Cronenberg's ability to verbally spar and joke is so winsome.
What a genius! humble, kind, visionary, like Lynch, sweet, deep and funny af. Great interviewer! It flows beautifully!
4:55 the moment you realize the guy interviewing you really didn't get the movie

One of the greatest.
Long live the new flesh 🔪
I think Lovecraft would have had some brilliant conversations with him.
Sure. The grown-up Lovecraft though haha. Not the xenophobic one of his younger years.
Love this effin movie
The film doesn't seem to be getting a wide release
🖤
the Viggo character who practices body harm as performance art made me think of Bob Flanagan. I saw the doc on him (made by Kirby Dick who did other stellar docs).It was very farout what Bob did to his flesh
