But funny too. No one's mentioned his absurdist sense of humor
He usually has no idea how to end his films. That's probably why a lot of people think the whole films suck, because their last memory is of the shoddy ending. They always feel rushed and chaotic, while he's usually controlled.
I like Cronenberg. I want to make that clear. BUT, he ain't the deepest guy in the world. His interviews are often more intellectually engaging than the films. A few poeple have mentioned his ideas and how he films the unfilmable (just like I'm typing the untypable?) but really, what are they? The ideas for the films can usually be summed up in a sentence or two, which leads me to think that they're shallow.
But he's compulsively watchable. Don't know what it is, but I'm always drawn into his worlds and want to return to them. And hey, I liked existenz.
