I really think that the advertising did this movie dirty. They really tried to make this movie look like it was a next gruesome step in the Cronenberg canon but it was more like a noir/reflection on his entire filmography where the main character is an artist in a changing world and what it means to suffer for your art. While I appreciate the message, I do think that because of the edit or the lack of backround information makes it a really rough watch at times. There's several points where the characters are throwing around all these weird teams and groups of art-people without context and a lot of the sound design makes a lot of it ROUGH to pick up on. There's several moments and characters who'll just chat away and you've got to hope to god you can pick up on it. Not to mention it builds to this huge climax and this character making a certain choice and then it just kinda...ends? I really do think it could have benefitted from a better edit/ or even if it was a novel or series. I like the concept of this movie more than the actual execution. Performances were great, (Lea bares her torpedos once again), the score was great, and it was decently short, but I really can't recommend the film to anybody but diehards or like art scene people. Idk, kind of a let down.

What did ya'll think Any Forums?

i think cronenberg hasn't made an interesting movie since Crash

I saw it drunk and couldn't follow a fucking bit of it

>where the main character is an artist in a changing world and what it means to suffer for your art
Faggot movie, got it, thank you OP

>me and my friends

It is a weak film, but its comfy to see these naked women and viggo walking around in his ninja outfit.

>it was more like a noir/reflection on his entire filmography where the main character is an artist in a changing world and what it means to suffer for your art.

amazingly you just made me want to see it, not that it has a UK release date yet.
I was thinking it was a "remember cronenburg??" attempt to cash in by making something that looks like his earlier films, but this sounds actually worthwhile.

>suffer for your art
What a fucking meme lmao. More like everyone around you suffers while you insist no one gets it but once they do... ya you'll have made it

I liked maps to the stars. he should've went out on that.

most people are motivated to conform to societies expectations so as to avoid suffering. successful artists get rewarded for not doing that, so I guess it looks like no suffering is involved? idk.
