David Cronenberg (March 15, 1943 Toronto, Ontario, Canada - ) is a Canadian director known for inventive and shocking visual imagery in stories with emotional depth.
Many genre fans got to know him first for Rabid, a 1977 horror film starring Marilyn Chambers. He reached a wider audience with Scanners, a telepathy movie famous for its exploding heads. He won a Genie Award (roughly, the Canadian equivalent of an Oscar) for directing Videodrome (and was nominated for writing as well).
Then came Cronenberg's reimagining of The Fly, starring Jeff Goldblum. This became a big enough touchpoint in popular culture that an opera was announced in 2007, with Cronenberg's involvement.
A History of Violence became perhaps his most critically-lauded work to date.
