David Cronenberg’s Maps to the Stars is an unflinching, surreal have a look at celeb tradition.
Selecting a movie from the uncompromising and unpredictable David Cronenberg all the time appears like a calculated danger. Though not all of his motion pictures work, even those that fail are often spectacular failures. For instance, I’m nonetheless unsure what I consider Cosmopolis, but when it’s a nasty film, it’s actually an fascinating one. Conversely, Cronenberg’s successes are visually putting mind-benders that mix the sci-fi brilliance of Philip Ok. Dick and the twisted absurdity of David Lynch.
Maps to the Stars focuses on a dysfunctional Hollywood household in a satirical and decidedly uncommercial tackle celeb tradition… with exploding heads! Simply kidding, however I wouldn’t rule it out both—Cronenberg himself has described the undertaking as “very excessive.”
With a solid that features Julianne Moore, John Cusack, Cronenberg common Robert Pattinson, and Mia Wasikowska, Maps to the Stars is an unflinching exploration of fame, energy, and the chaos they depart of their wake.
