Review of Videodrome (1983) by Jens T — 08 Apr 2012
David Cronenberg's Videodrome is a science fiction film that takes place in a not so distant future where hardcore pornography is normal everyday entertainment. But it doesn't mean that it hasn't reach it limit of how far it can go. the porno TV-producer Max Renn (James Woods) who pics up some signal, a TV channel named Videodrome which shows a woman being whipped while being tied up. But this channel also causes insanity and hallucination of Freudian proportion.
Videodrome is a quiet weird, macabre and dark film. It's just to weird for my taste. But there's a sense of satirical elements of a George Orwell universe, with the kind of Freudian psychological themes making even more sexual and disgusting. So I give this film a marginal thumbs up.
