David Paul Cronenberg(Toronto, Ontario, March 15, 1943) is a Canadian director, screenwriter and actor. He is one of the principal originators of what is commonly known as the body horror
genre, with his films exploring visceral bodily transformation,
infection, and the intertwining of the psychological with the physical.
In the first half of his career, he explored these themes mostly through
horror and science fiction films such as Scanners (1981) and Videodrome (1983), although his work has since expanded beyond these genres.
Cronenberg's films have polarized critics and audiences alike; he has
earned critical acclaim and has sparked controversy for his depictions
of gore and violence. The Village Voice
called him "the most audacious and challenging narrative director in
the English-speaking world". His films have won numerous awards,
including, for Crash, the Special Jury Prize at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival,
a unique award that is distinct from the Jury Prize as it is not given
annually, but only at the request of the official jury, who in this case
gave the award "for originality, for daring, and for audacity".
