Cronenberg on Cronenberg

David Cronenberg is one of the most controversial directors working in the cinema today - few directors in the commercial cinema have been so uncompromising. Specializing in "venereal horror", he has steadily worked his way into the mainstream, culminating in the world-wide success of "The Fly". This volume traces the career of this film-maker from his early fascination with science, through his emerging cinema career, to its culmination is his adaptation of William Burroughs' "The Naked Lunch". A section on "M. Butterfly" is also included.
