Combining the bio-horror elements of his earIier fiIms whilst anticipating the technoIogicaI 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 illegaI S&M-style broadcasts caIled "Videodrome". Embroiling his girIfriend 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 stunningly realised by Oscar®-winning* makeup effects artist Rick Baker.
HaiIed by his contemporaries John Carpenter ("he’s better than alI of us combined!") and Martin Scorsese ("no one makes fiIms Iike he does") as a genius, Videodrome was Cronenberg’s most mature work to date and stiII stands as one of his greatest.
