Xavier MarecaVideodrome. 1983. David Cronenberg. $5.9M budget. $2.1M at the box office. A bomb.
Cronenberg turned down directing Return of the Jedi to make it. Andy Warhol called it the 1980s answer to A Clockwork Orange. Toronto Film Festival named it the 89th most essential film ever made.
A TV exec loses his grip on reality chasing a signal that controls minds. Media as weapon. Content as conspiracy.
