Videodrome

Don’t be afraid to let your body die . . . David Cronenberg and David Lynch have possibly the most abstract, creative minds in cinema. Going into a film by either of them comes with the mindset that I know I’ll likely enjoy it. I love the personification of tech in this, along with the sadomasochistic elements. Really awesome, and Debbie Harry looks sooo beautiful in this movie. Desensitisation is a topic which is incredibly relevant today, meaning that this film has aged very well and more than holds up. There is constant debate over whether violent media perpetuates real life violence, which leads to more dangerous counteractive measures like censorship. The practical effects are so so wonderful, I love the fleshy TV and the guts that explode from it at the end.
