"Thirty seconds after you're born you have a past and sixty seconds after that you begin to lie to yourself about it."Director: David Cronenberg
Starring: Oliver Reed, Art Hindle
I've just read that the inspiration for this movie came from writer/director David Cronenberg's vicious and drawn-out divorce and child-custody battle. This makes an amusing amount of sense, given that the picture itself involves a dashing male protagonist, a kind-hearted and mild-mannered near single father struggling to raise his daughter while his wife burns away in isolation at a private psych ward.
***I'm about to say things that will divulge into the plot. Do not read this if you do not like your endings ruined. Slash just watch the movie***
Oh. And this wife gives birth to angry and deformed stumpy rage-babies by means of an external fetus that run about doing her subconscious biddings i.e. killing lots of people.
I was shown this after my friend watched it in film school. Fiiiillm schooool. Apparently it has good structure. I personally thought it was nothing short of entertainment brilliance.
Hey, I'm just keeping track of everything I watch.
