David Cronenberg
David Cronenberg (Toronto, 15 marzo 1943) è un regista, sceneggiatore, attore, produttore cinematografico e direttore della fotografia canadese. È ritenuto pioniere del genere cinematografico indicato come body horror, che esplora il terrore dell'uomo di fronte alla mutazione del corpo, all'infezione e contaminazione della carne, intrecciando l'elemento psicologico della storia con quello fisico. Nella prima metà della sua carriera Cronenberg ha esplorato questi temi soprattutto attraverso l'horror e la fantascienza, mentre successivamente i suoi lavori si sono spinti al di là di questi generi, approdando anche al noir. Nel 2018 gli è stato conferito il Leone d'oro alla carriera. Leggi di più su Wikipedia
