The Big Picture Let's not beat around the bush here — David Cronenberg makes some weird movies. For decades now, Cronenberg has gobsmacked audiences, blown minds, and mutilated his protagonists. These aren't just the things that make us barf, though. They're also the reasons that we keep coming back! There's something about his particular brand of body horror that is more than just its gorier parts. It's philosophical, it's ethical...
What Is David Cronenberg's 'Stereo' About? David Cronenberg is anything but a predictable director. We can almost always expect some extremely disturbing ideas to trickle their way in, but otherwise, every one of his films is different from the last. Rabid is a fascinating cross-breed of zombie and vampire movies, with the thematic focus of one's body betraying itself running throughout.
Stereo is a doozy. Essentially, the film follows a group of Canadian college students who offer up their bodies and minds to take part in an intense psychological experiment that rids them of their ability to speak, but gives them the ability to communicate telepathically. The most bizarre touch is that they're told to do so through sexual exploration.
Stereo's soul is about as cold as can be, but it's got one major thing going for it: everyone and everything in it looks cool, starting with the costume design. Everyone is decked out in fantasy-edged futurist outfits. It feels like someone involved with the production just got fancy with some scissors, make-shifting tossed-aside articles into something that a dystopian warlock would wear. On top of that, the locations are wild.
