Viewing Notes

Another Cronenberg revisit. While I really like the movie it feels so little like a Cronenberg film. If I didn’t know he’d directed it I don’t know that I could identify it as being in his style.

From the Imprint films Blu-ray I just bought recently which has a nice slipcase and cover art.
