To mark the release of David Cronenberg’s latest film, the deeply personal The Shrouds, we’re bringing four of his masterpieces back to The Garden Cinema.

The original ‘new flesh’, Videodrome (1983) remains a potent media satire, and a deliciously wonky trip into conspiracy and ‘plastic reality’. In 1986, Cronenberg remade the 50’s sci-fi The Fly in his own image. Featuring a never-better Jeff Goldblum, The Fly is a gripping techno-chiller, and an icky-romance with surprisingly tragic depth. There’s double Jeremy Irons in Dead Ringers (1988): Cronenberg’s icy and disturbing treatise on addiction and co-dependence. In J. G. Ballard, Cronenberg found a suitable sparring partner. Much as metal and flesh melds onscreen, his controversial (at the time) adaptation of Crash (1996) is a perfect symbiosis of novelist and filmmaker.
