A poetic insight into the man and his films / flesh
David Cronenberg is one of the most unique film-making talents to emerge over the last twenty years. His work is often visually and psychologically confronting, and each of his projects is imbued with his thematic trademarks of bodily invasion, mutilation and augmentation. ‘I Have to Make the Word Be Flesh’ is an insightful and candid interview with the man himself about his films and his motivations. Cronenberg is cheerfully frank about his often grotesque images and controversial subject matter, and clearly relishes in the opportunity to explore the themes and motifs behind each one. He responds enthusiastically to the questions posed to him and provides a glimpse into his strange psyche that gave birth to some of the most uncompromising and disturbing films of the last twenty years. For fans of Cronenberg and his art this is a perfect opportunity to discover more about the twisted universe he inhabits, particularly for his motives behind his remake of ‘The Fly’ and ‘Crash’ — his most controversial film to date. For those uninitiated, this will wet your appetite for Cronenberg and will hopefully be the beginning of a long obsession with his films.

i could listen to Cronenberg talk for ~hours~
there’s a moment where a connection is made between The Incredulity of Saint Thomas and Videodrome lol — «Everything but the Body is an Abstraction»
It’s also fun to watch Serge Grünberg slowly turn the volume up on the little television set they’re looking at, interrupting Cronenberg with bits of his own films — as opposed to watching john landis loudly interjecting during Fear on Film 1982, their shared interview with John Carpenter moderated by Mick Garris
«I think monstrosity is a relative thing,
time’s have changed since Goya too, I mean in a ways that would certainly astonish him..»youtu.be/h0y516xe0T4

Jesus Christ the juxtaposition between Nurse Forsythe’s «disturbing dream» and fucking-the-scar scene is probably the eeriest and on-the-nose contextualising of Cronenberg’s oeuvre. In many ways, this is probably the most illuminating discussion between Cronenberg’s ideas and thought processes and an interviewer who acts a decoder and even puts forth certain facets with which while not necessarily challenging Cronenberg, definitely provide an insight for which he could accept and perhaps explore. The effect of two people in a room (one of which is Cronenberg) watching two Cronenberg films at the same time and having a conversation about their effect as a whole is simplicity at its finest.
Description
TV
Film David Cronenberg: I Have to Make the Word Be Flesh is a film staple that you can’t stop seeing.
The year 1999 he had the great luck of being chosen for this film to be released.
David Cronenberg, Serge Grünberg are the actors and actresses in charge of giving life to the characters that the story tells.
The responsibility that the film director has during the shooting of a movie is so great that it is sometimes stressful for the person. In this case it was André S. Labarthe.
It has a duration of 68 min..
The film belongs to France, one of the countries that generates the most cinema in the world.
One of the most important parts of the film is the decision of which words are going to be chosen to express what the director is looking for and this was in the hands of Janine Bazin, André S. Labarthe.
The production companies are betting on certain stories that they will later turn into movies and, without a doubt, AMIP-ARTE France has been completely right with this one.
Within the 7th art that is cinema, we find photography that is in charge of deciding the frames, positions of the actors, movements of the cameras … in this case the person in charge of directing this entire process has been Pascal Caubère, Kevin Neshevich.
If we had to frame this film in a specific genre, that would be Documentary film.
