Charli was right, it’s Cronenberg summer bitch. Even though his movies have consistent winter vibes, the amount and variety of bodies on display in the summer certainly makes it grotesque enough to be suitably Cronenbergian (?)
The Shrouds was excellent, his Interview mag feature was hot and there’s never a bad time to revisit his incredibly strong and varied filmography. Don’t sleep on the other Cronenberg boy either, his son Brandon has made two of my favorite mind fucks in recent memory with Possessor and Infinity Pool.

Been watching a lot of stuff lately that touches on the intersection of geo-politics and the cyberization of the body (see Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, X-Files, The Shrouds, etc.)
So often people are really down on how complex and amorphous the plots can be but isn’t that the whole point?
What better reflects our reality than a messy shadow world brimming with malicious government and tech sector actors seeking to weaponize our bodies and minds? These stories aim for a certain realism and achieve it in their refusal to provide clean answers.
So often, there is no truth for us anymore. Everything is a false flag, everything is a psy-op, who does the smoking man really work for? We’re the victims and we can only grasp at half-truths and accept that we’ll never know. Yet in accepting that, we reach a deeper truth of another kind.
