I came across this video from Vimeo user Shaun Higgins (aka Hello Wizard) that pays tribute to the cinema of David Cronenberg. The video looks at 21 of Cronenberg’s films:  Stereo (1969), Crimes of the Future (1970), They Came From Within (1975), Rabid (1977), Fast Company (1979), The Brood (1979), Scanners ( 1981), Videodrome (1983), The Dead Zone (1983), The Fly (1986), Dead Ringers (1988), Naked Lunch (1991), M Butterfly (1993), Crash (1996), eXistenZ (1999) Spider ( 2002), A History of Violence (2005), Eastern Promises (2007), A Dangerous Method (2011),Cosmopolis (2012), and Maps to the Stars (2014).

I love that Shaun used Howard Shore & Metric’s “Benno” from Cosmopolis.  I don’t think I’ve watched before and it was great having Rob pop up here and there. I thoroughly enjoyed this. I also realised that I need to watch a few more of Cronenberg’s films – it’s a great reference for Rob’s tribute photoshoot to Cronenberg with Eliot Lee Hazel.
