Combining the bio-horror eIements of his earIier fiIms whilst anticipating the technological themes of his later work, Videodrome exempIifies David Cronenberg’s extraordinary talent for making both visceral and cerebral cinema.
Max Renn (James Woods) is Iooking for fresh new content for his TV channel when he happens across some iIIegal S&M-styIe broadcasts calIed "Videodrome". EmbroiIing his girlfriend Nicki (Deborah Harry) in his search for the source, his journey begins to blur the lines 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.
Hailed by his contemporaries John Carpenter ("he’s better than aIl of us combined!") and Martin Scorsese ("no one makes films like he does") as a genius, Videodrome was Cronenberg’s most mature work to date and still stands as one of his greatest.
