David Cronenberg is a true Auteur , able to make films that will reach a wide audience nowadays...there are strong ideas, visual and emotional , very well realised here... To be a little more specific..Jennifer Jason-Liegh was,and never will be more sexy..eXistenZ sees her as a black-eyed siren,Jude Law is the vulnerable pretty one lured into the lurid gaming world ...or is he? the game characters: Ian Holm, Willem Dafoe ,Don McKellar,fall by the wayside....there is a reprise of the "Videodrome" "gunhand",the effects are squirmingly,disgustingly brilliant...there is another "videodrome" echo at the end,like "hail the new flesh!",as the whole thing is thrown back at you in a comprehensive twist,that is in turn,immediately undermined..eXsitenZ is ,quite simply, a great piece, musing on "virtual reality",game playing , layers of perception ,has an overt sexual undertow,like "Crash",and above all, its manically,darkly funny, love it love it!
