Holy Jesus he looks pretty good for 75 years old.

I would hate a world without movie theatres. People need that experience.

Dammit, I want to watch movies with David at his house!!!

“I wouldn’t mind seeing Lawrence of Arabia on an Apple Watch” - David Cronenberg

Lynch, Cronenberg, and the Coens were directly responsible for the interpretive cinema craze from the late 80s to the early 90s.

I've grown very tired of all this star wars/avengers it's actually killed my desire to see anything new. Then I a few weeks ago I watched Scanners then Videodrome. My faith has been restored.

Cronenberg has the style of Carpenter & the elegance of Lynch.

Oh hey, a cinema legend that isn't cynical about the future.

A fabulous filmmaker. Cronenberg never lets me down.

Cronenberg is one of the greatest living directors the other being Lynch The two David’s . Both created a new visual language Adore all his movies and could listen to him talk all day long

I really need to see Cronenberg once in a lifetime doing a crossover movies with David Lynch. That would yield the best masterpiece of all time. Loved it, loved all of his movies - especially Crash, his best work.

"Retro" this is so true and rather than rebel against Cinemas changing, Cronenberg has embraced it. One of the best story tellers/directors of all time.

Ι LOVE HIM

He's wonderful, I love him.

Omg Cronenberg looks fit at 75

Is that an official house invite

The fact that he talks about La Strada and a whole audience of italian Torotonians Crying from it!

Brilliant!

3:10 is Rabid, not Shivers, but close enough lol

I love what he’s talking about it’s just true times always change You just have to change with them

I agree with David. But seeing Spiderman (even if it’s a Marvel movie) having so many people going to the cinema in the peak of a pandemic gives me hope. People are incredibly hyped for new movies from people like Jordan Peele, Ari Aster, Robert Eggers, the two good Andersons and people like them who are keeping films in cinema alive. We’ll keep that flame lit.

He wasn't quite right, seeing as there are Netflix movies that now get limited releases in cinemas. I think we have to get used to cinemas becoming a more exclusive experience with special selections, rather than the common way of experiencing movies.

Nice! One problem.....'Rabid' was 1977 (3:10) but shown as 'Shivers'. A simple editing error, I am guessing. I have been a fan of Mr. D.C. since the early 1980's.

Hi, can anybody identify the little tune played at the beginning of this (0:14), please?

I love his sense of humor. Great filmmaker.

We need to bring back independent cinemas. They've all been taken by the hypercapitalist monopoly that feels no different than "classic" Hollywood's control over the entertainment industry. A lot of these directors like Cronenberg but even some bigger contemporaries got their start doing smaller, more insular and "trashier" films. Just look at Spielberg's first movie Duel for a good example there. But these guys (and ladies in some cases too) got successful through building and embracing a community. That's what we've lost in the 21st century, sadly. Not just in cinema but in society in general. We have no sense of community, of brotherhood and unconditional mutual support for one another as people. It's all been turned into competition and transaction for personal gain, both out of selfishness and out of the often too real fear that we will fall into precarity without a moment's notice. So I guess what I'm saying here is, if you want to see great filmmakers who aren't limited by corporate pressure, you've got to build these communities with your fellow humans and bond over your shared passions. Don't just make something on your own, make it together with the people you have a community with. Cronenberg certainly couldn't have done any of his masterpieces without help from all the people he's worked with over the years, the director's only ever one piece of a much larger puzzle. But definitely do it. Whether you have a decent budget saved up or you're making something in your garage or the middle of the woods with spare pieces, if you have integrity and a vision TOGETHER you can make it work. And build that community. If you're not a filmmaker but know some in your locality, consider getting an independent theater started, even if it's out of your own apartment or whatever. Everybody has to start somewhere. Don't be afraid of what people might think, fuck 'em. Work together, don't compete, instead share your art with one another. This is how creativity is fostered. Alright that's the end of this ramble, maybe somebody will find it helpful.

I wish he gave out his phone number instead of his address. Just to call him and talk about movies would be cool

"The horror... The horror!....... " [Kurtz -- "Heart of Darkness"/"Apocalypse Now"]

If you are watching this, you might want to get a copy of ''Children of the New Flesh'' by Chris Kelso et. al - its a great book exploring Croneberg's early works and development. M.

Solve your problems with inviting people to Canada and I'll come

Cronenberg's comments regarding the death of the cinema are as profound as they are poignant.

Cronenberg and Lynch are my favorite film directors.

I would pay good money to go to Cronenberg's house to watch a movie with him

And the sun is a white orb in the sky at noon

You'll never get a screen as big as cinema and they thought TV would kill cinema

That is his real address by the way.

Decker!

He sounds like a less depressed version of george lucas

Christian Catholics in the light

His way of speaking reminds of chomsky for some reason

Artuer.

Christian Camacho Lord of the Abercrombie black n white film doing tango Argentine scene with Kristen

kinda a smart alec.

I would have thought it to have more to do with the fact that not a single movie released in the better part of a decade is worth sitting through. BUT that’s just my opinion.

I can’t think of another around that long that stays as fresh...It’s ridiculous. Woody Allen makes a movie every year and other directors make whatever they want to. Here’s one of our greatest directors and he has so much trouble getting his movies made.” Viggo Mortenson on David Cronenberg variety.com/2016/film/news/cannes-viggo-mortensen-talks-trump-david-cronenberg-collaboration-1201771333/

It breaks my heart to hear Cronenberg talk like this. If you compare this Q&A with interviews he gave 10-15 years ago, you can clearly tell he doesn't care anymore. Makes me hella sad.

You were a true genius. Won’t make films again like you did. Beautiful man that made horrific human movies. Humans were the monsters. Rare in today’s movies except maybe Rob Zombie

However,....shakespear

He looks alot like Howard Stern

Shakespear WHITE

I watched Lawrence of Arabia on 70ml It was a religious experience.

White not blonde alephs

The new Cinema... White breed in Italian cinema, could we do that?

I admire him, but I selfishly wish he'd go back to making horror movies.

It’s dead now sir

"cinema as been permanently disrupted", yeah, especially his. this guy sold out long ago, and now he makes the most shoddy, substandard trash imaginable. everything he made after "crash" could have been made by anybody and isn't even well made, and at least half his audience doesn't seem to care. they think he's the same old cronenberg because they're apparently that hypnotized by his name and reputation. it's nice that he finally did something creative again, and wrote a novel. i really hope he doesn't make any more films.
