Legends Podcast #558; A History of Violence (Comic Book Movies)
Manage episode 317925291 series 2391098
Director David Cronenberg is best known for mind-bending body horror in films like Scanners, Videodrome, and The Fly, but he made his first “comic book movie” in 2005, an Academy Award-nominated adaptation of a graphic novel - and we do mean graphic. Starring Viggo Mortensen as a small-town diner owner whose mobster past catches up with him, the film was a modest success both financially and critically, and led to a series of collaborations between the actor and director, including Eastern Promises and A Dangerous Method. Now, we’re watching the last major Hollywood movie to be released on VHS, which makes it historical - A History of Violence.
