"There's not a single redeeming character in this movie." "Julianne Moore is so fucked up. I love her." "Movies are evil." We had a good time. Cronenberg is hilarious.

positive · AI labelView post →“I know Carrie Fisher.” “Oh really, how’s that?” “I met her on Twitter.” —Maps to the Stars (2014) At the risk of stepping too close to Yesterday’s Discourse, every time Twitter is mentioned in a movie I get a very pang of grief and anger. It was my home for 15 years, now just a wasteland.

Cronenberg 2014) - a disturbing ghost story of a sorts starring Julianne Moore, John Cusack, Mia Wasikowska, and Robert Pattinson. Hollywood ghosts can be quite subtle and brutal.
neutral · AI labelView post →Cronenberg lost his wife to this awful disease and it's also primarily why there was such a large gap between Maps To The Stars & this film - he very nearly gave up being a director. I admire the courage to make a film with a subject so personally painful.

neutral · AI labelView post →Maps To The Stars (2014), a late period David Cronenberg film written by the Wild Palms guy. It's about a washed up actress (Julianne Moore) trying to get cast as her abusive mother in a biopic and a drug addicted former child star w a burn scarred, pyromanic sister. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIpD...
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched even more Cronenberg last night, and why am I just now finding out that he's making body horror again? Crimes of the Future is full on weird for the whole runtime. A glorious return to form after the History of Violence through Maps to the Stars "normal movie" run.

neutral · AI labelView post →6. Maps To The Stars, the only David Cronenberg I’ve seen I’d consider an outright dud but Mia Wasikowska and her look in the film were genuinely intriguing and cool. A shame she’s basically just not in anything anymore. A few modern actresses I actually like seem to have that fate.

neutral · AI labelView post →I rewatched Maps to the Stars last night - I think that might be my favourite contemporary ghost story film. I love the lack of veneer in the satire, and the unsympathetic Hollywood personalities, but the orthogonal hauntings really make it, ghosts just happy to watch them fall apart.

unlabelledView post →Also, see Cronenberg' Maps to the Stars. He's not the lead, but it's a good off-putting movie with a minimum of actual body horror (which is great sometimes, but sometimes you're like "nah I'm good")

unlabelledView post →It is, always shifting his style and tone. It's a heavy film but it's inspired by his wife who he sadly lost to cancer. It's also why their was such a large gap between Maps To The Stars & Crimes of the Future. He very nearly gave up directing - I think that shows great strength of character.

unlabelledView post →We’ll see but Hollywood doesn’t ‘get’ Cronenberg, and the aesthetic of his films is far more suited to the European film award circuit. Perhaps it stems from his refusal to film in Hollywood except for the time he eviscerated it in Maps to the Stars.

unlabelledView post →> Lambasted by the Evening Standard, boycotted by the Daily Mail and banned from cinemas in Westminster (really), Crash nevertheless marked the beginning of Cronenberg’s ascension to international film royalty. In 1999 he would himself serve as jury president at Cannes, going on to earn Palme d’Or nominations for several subsequent features: the 2002 Ralph Fiennes psychodrama Spider; the brilliant graphic-novel adaptation A History of Violence (2005), with a career-best performance by Viggo…

unlabelledView post →Coincidentally I'm reading Don Delillo's Cosmopolis because I saw the David Lynch film. Robert Pattinson was great in it. He was good in Maps to the Stars, too, though it was a creepy film with what happened to the other characters.
unlabelledView post →Maps to the Stars may be Cronenberg's darkest film, which is odd because of how much of it is in daylight. It is a very deep, dark look at fame and the film industry, I'm kinda surprised that Hollywood allowed this film to be made.
unlabelledView post →Not about the night stars, but the Hollywood's. The title gives an impression of someone lost in somewhere and trying to find a way back home. I did not know what this film was about. I did not know who stars in it and when it released. But I decided to watch it at the last minute without checking out its synopsis and I ended up satisfied. Not fully pleased, but the refreshing story and its characters interested me. This is an unusual drama that takes place in a district where the Hollywood…
