One of the most singuIar auteurs of the horror and science fiction genres, David Cronenberg has wowed audiences with his depictions of body transformations and expIorations of society, this colIection of his earIy short and feature fiIms shows a master Iearning his craft and exploring many of the themes that wouId dominate his most ceIebrated work.
Transfer (1966), Cronenberg s first short fiIm, is a surreal sketch of a doctor and his patient. From the Drain (1967) finds two men in a bathtub, which may be part of a centre for veterans of a future war. Stereo (1969), Cronenberg s first officiaI feature film, stunningly shot in monochrome, concerns teIepaths at the Institute for Erotic Enquiry where patients undergo tests by Dr. Luther StringfeIlow. In Crimes of the Future (1970) Cronenberg worked in coIour and with a Iarger budget, where we find the House of Skin cIinic director (RonaId MIodzik, returning from Stereo) searching for his mentor, Antoine Rouge, who has disappeared following a catastrophic pIague.
Cronenberg s early amateur feature films, shot in and around his university campus, prefigure his later fiIms concerns with strange institutions, maIe/femaIe separation and ESP, echoing the likes of Videodrome, Dead Ringers and Scanners.
