That is quite the departure for Cronenberg! I thoroughly enjoy his work like The Fly and Eastern Promises so it’s odd that he’d take on something like A Dangerous Method. Maybe he wanted to branch out? His son Brandon Cronenberg made a pretty great movie called Possessor. Have you seen it?

Cronenberg is a great filmmaker. So far that’s the fourth movie of his that is trash. The whole existential phase, except for ExistenZ: Dead Ringers, Naked Lunch, Crash are trash too. I’m not sure the others in the same phase as Dangerous Method will be good. I’ll see soon enough.

I’ve seen both of Brandon’s movies. Both are great. His daughter also made one. I’ll watch it soon enough

Didn’t know he had a daughter! The more Cronenbergs, the better!

Humane (2024) directed by Caitlin Cronenberg. The other one of Brandon is Infinity Pool (2023). Great movie

Infinity Pool is on my list! I haven’t heard of Humane but the premise is thoroughly disturbing just like any good Cronenberg

Didn’t read anything about it. I like to keep the surprise 👀

Just the IMDb blurb! But man, going into a movie blind is excellent. I watched Sinners without any info and it was very fun. Not the best but consistently entertaining.
