The Fly

I like how people in Cronenberg movies say “the flesh” as if that’s like a normal not-cultlike thing to say. The poetry of the flesh. Glory to the flesh. This movie doesn’t feel like a 5 but I can’t say anything about it that I didn’t love, I love that sleazy back-alley vibe that Cronenberg does and the effects in this are insane! It takes a rather silly concept for a story and turns it into something genuinely tragic and heartbreaking
