Description
Videodrome Scene-By-Scene is an in-depth analysis of David Cronenberg's 1983 film. John David Ebert draws on critical theory, comparative mythology and media studies to explore the themes and ideas behind the movie. The film is seen as a tale of a man becoming lost in a televisual reality, where the boundaries between the real and the surreal are increasingly blurred. This transformation is reflected in the way the world around him changes, from a heavy, material existence to one composed of electrons and photons. Ebert examines how Cronenberg portrays our society's descent into a climate of violence and media-driven excess, as encouraged by "disinhibiting media" that promote a culture of aggression.
