What can be said that hasn't already been said about David Cronenberg's timeless masterpiece? One half a giddy celebration of -- ("Long live the new flesh!") and one half a dire warning about letting the media supplant our own life experience, VIDEODROME is more timely now more than ever. I vividly recall the mass walkouts and hostile reception this film got in its brief theatrical run. Today, it's seen as a brisk 89 minutes -- and irony of ironies -- is now considered one of Cronenberg's most accessible films!
Required viewing.
