This one has aged pretty for a late 90s movie. 90s Cronenberg movies are very interesting, Crash is a classic and M. Butterfly and Naked feast bold and brilliant experiences. The podcast from the museum of moving image is interesting in that regard. Anyway this alternate poster is a favorite of his with that "the brood" reference.
I love almost all of his films.... except 'M Butterfly'... most unCronenbergesque... though there are certain themes in the movie that can be found in his other films..
It was a classic movie
I kinda hate this one
i kind of loved it. especially JJL

Wow interesting
Saw it when it came out. Twice!
it must have been great to see it with the audience.
![On this day, 27 years ago, David Cronenberg's 'eXistenZ' (1999) premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival, Germany. David Cronenberg on whether he prophesised the nature of present video games in 'eXistenZ' (1999): "I think people interpret things they see in those movies in anticipation. I mean, I've never been a great games player but I was interested in [video games]. It can be another art form – creating another world that is immersive, and so on, It intrigued me because, of course, in a way, movies have always been that as well. So people who think that 'eXistenZ' (1999) anticipated some things about game playing – well, that's lovely. But, really, I don't think of art as prophecy. The game is to try to understand what life is now; what is the human condition now? And that, to me, is what art is all about."
