Cronenberg

Esta semana se estrena en Estados Unidos Spider, la última película de David Cronenberg, y Salon.com publica una excelente entrevista con él que logra dar una excelente vistazo a toda su carrera. Un fragmento:

One of the reasons I'm not a novelist, probably, is because I kept writing pastiches of Nabokov. Whereas when I came to filmmaking I felt quite free. There was no mentor figure for me, as there was for Brian De Palma with Hitchcock, famously, or for John Carpenter with John Ford. There was no filmmaker who had that hold over me. I mean, I love Bergman. I love Fellini. But they were from such different cultures that I couldn't even begin to imitate them, so I just didn't. Although maybe "Spider" is my most Bergmanesque film, let's say. I've probably never made a Fellini-esque film. Maybe "Naked Lunch," I don't know.
