This is likely my favourite Cronenberg film. From its quietly disturbing opening sequence which suggests violence more than shows it, and in doing so becomes far more upsetting than anything Tarantino...

This film lets you know it sees queer men as predators from its first scene. Then it reinforces this perception throughout while romanticizing a heterosexual rape. Its theme of platonic connection bet...
