Film Description

THE definitive exploding head movie, but don't let this put you off. This is really Cronenberg's breakthrough feature, the one that marked his move from the independent field to a more mainstream audience. It's a thrilling adventure movie and an exploration of the powers of the mind, along with Cronenberg's usual, satirically-charged attack on multinationals and scientists whose madness goes unnoticed because everyone around them is even crazier. Superbly served by a maniacal Ironside, some fabulous set pieces, and the pounding score of Howard Shore.
