Videodrome (Director’s cut)

Right-wing conspiracies, sadomasochistic sex games, and bodily transformations lure in Max Renn (James Woods), the president of a Toronto television station looking to fill his sensationalist late-night programming. As viewers start tuning in to Videodrome, layers of deception, mind-control conspiracy, and bizarre violence tear at the fabric of Max’s reality. One of David Cronenberg’s most original and provocative works, VIDEODROME speaks to an era in which political commentary and social technologies join forces to reinvent meaning and morality on a daily basis.
