Here, the reader will be presented with the familiar and unfamiliar aspects of iconic films such as \u003ci\u003eVideodrome\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Fly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNaked Lunch\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCrash\u003c\/i\u003e. Though dividing the book into two halves suggests a binary, the Jungian-inspired chapters within each will emphasize that this work--and the world itself--is perpetually shifting. The reader will progress through these different stages (of Jungian individuation and therapy) and see how the recurrent narrative, cultural, and visual themes loop back and intersect with one another. Rather than a straightforward narrative about a filmmaker, this book will be a dreamlike exploration of all that is Cronenbergian. Featuring a foreword by Oscar-nominated actor Viggo Mortensen, it also includes interviews with composer Howard Shore, production designer Carol Spier, cinematographer Peter Suschitzky, and producer and playwright\/screenwriter Jeremy Thomas.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eViolet Lucca\u003c\/b\u003e is the VP of digital at \u003ci\u003eHarper's\u003c\/i\u003e magazine.
