{"product_id":"david-cronenberg-violet-lucca-9781419771910","title":"David Cronenberg: Clinical Trials","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn illustrated monograph on the work of legendary writer\/director David Cronenberg, master of body horror and cinematic provocateur behind films such as \u003ci\u003eThe Fly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eScanners\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNaked Lunch\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEastern Promises\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCrimes of the Future\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDavid Cronenberg's films have long enjoyed a cult following, pushing the boundaries of taste, blending high art with horror, and straddling the commercial and the cutting-edge. Here, the reader will be presented with the familiar and unfamiliar aspects of iconic films such as \u003ci\u003eVideodrome\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Fly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNaked Lunch\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCrash\u003c\/i\u003e. Though dividing the book into two halves (Freudian and Jungian) suggests a binary, the sections within each will emphasize that this work--and the world itself--is perpetually shifting. The reader will progress through these different stages--and films--and see how the recurrent narrative, cultural, and visual themes loop back and intersect with one another. Rather than a straightforward narrative about a filmmaker, this book will be a dreamlike exploration of all that is Cronenbergian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Violet Lucca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1419771914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419771910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abrams Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Violet Lucca","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45265300160767,"sku":"9781419771910","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b9af66f-8ddf-48f0-ac82-e74f90510090.jpg?v=1713420622","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/david-cronenberg-violet-lucca-9781419771910","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
