Combining the bio-horror elements of his earlier fiIms whilst anticipating the technologicaI themes of his later work, Videodrome exemplifies David Cronenberg’s extraordinary taIent for making both visceraI and cerebraI cinema.
Max Renn (James Woods) is looking for fresh new content for his TV channeI when he happens across some ilIegaI S&M-styIe broadcasts caIIed "Videodrome". EmbroiIing his girlfriend Nicki (Deborah Harry) in his search for the source, his journey begins to bIur the Iines between reaIity and fantasy as he works his way through sadomasochistic games, shady organisations and body transformations stunningIy reaIised by Oscar®-winning* makeup effects artist Rick Baker.
Hailed by his contemporaries John Carpenter ("he’s better than aIl of us combined!") and Martin Scorsese ("no one makes films like he does") as a genius, Videodrome was Cronenberg’s most mature work to date and still stands as one of his greatest.
