He is 81 now & sees the end of the road is near. its not easy getting old and if you hae worn your body out from hard physical work when it rains or is very cold your bones are so stu=iff sometimes you can barley get up that first few moments after waking. Its no picnic at times but it is best not to compalin about it & keep it to yourself.
Saying goodbye to the vessel who has made you feel and experience life. The pulsing creature which made you walk the earth, taste, touch, breath, kiss, sometimes suffer. The person you saw everyday in the mirror, that glove your soul was filling, like a delicate hand.
He received the Leone d'Oro for his career at the Venice Film Festival. He was moved, and gave a beautiful speech of thanks. He is more happy in Venice, Cannes ... I don't think he love Hollywood.
@@federicogasparino Hollywood hasn't been respected for two decades or more. Cannes, the most. Venice, too. Oscars are small. Random pop films winning, herd politics, cheap yellow boredom, not nearly as much of art, cringeful, not much about films, lots of misses, not a flawless perfection. Quite harmful for art, in fact. Hublot vs LeCoultre. I LUUUUV how Oscar statuette looks and old Oscar ceremonies though
So the message... Embrace death.. accept its inevitablity... dont fear it and run away.. face it, and get comfortable with it..? Surprisingly moving, for something so short and simple 😢
Perhaps that's what Cronenberg intended to get across, but I think he simply worships death, even if he isn't entirely aware of it. In the absence of religious faith, most nihilists consciously or subconsciously regard Death with the kind of awe and veneration befitting an actual deity. Cronenberg, poor dope, just demonstrated the ultimate hypocrisy of atheistic hubris without knowing it.
The short is stark, whatever effects of its (seemingly) high frame rate offset by Cronenberg’s spare-beyond-spare mise-en-scene and the corpse’s blood-chilling jiggle. To hear him tell it, though, The Death of David Cronenberg‘s meanings run deeper than “a person embracing his own death.” Cronenberg’s wife, Denise-a brilliant editor in her own right, of his films and others-died in May of 2020. Quote the man, “[She] died in that house, in a bed, and it felt when she died, partly, like I died, and I still feel that. That corpse is my wife to me. So it’s not just a frivolous horror film. It is a film about love and the transient aspect of being human.” from the filmstage
Denise who was Cronenbergs sister (and worked as a costune designer on many of his films) passed away in may 2020. His wife Carolyn passed away in 2017, although the quote is still about her
Il regista riflette su amore e morte.. Un'opera desolante e diretta, che si collega alla scomparsa della moglie Denise.. La prima volta che l'ho visto,qualche giorno fa,mi sono emozionata! Amo Cronenberg!🖤
@@mtocful I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but no, David Cronenberg not Detective Comics. Cronenberg is set to release his upcoming 'Crimes of the Future' this year.
death is so… cold and icky, like I definitely believe we go on, and I imagine he does too… leaving it all behind will be pretty hard.. coming to terms that everyone on the planet is going to die at some point is just even worse. like … this one time I was at a set for sufjan stevens at a festival and he broke out the “we’re all gonna die” & I was like bro I’m straight up having not a good time and had to leave lmao
Cronenberg è il solito genio. Un performer. Uno che sa dare forma alle cose. Performer appunto. Però una cosa si può dire. Non ha meditato abbastanza sulla lezione di Epicuro. La morte: quando ci sono io non c'è lei e quando c'è lei non ci sono io.
Dude killed his own identical twin for a short film. Gotta admire that level of dedication
Dr decker never was sane to beggin with
Dead ringers
It was his own clone, stupid

Beautiful.
@@purefoldnz3070 the hell you talking about?
@@hahahahaha288 the hell im talking about is this was created as NFT.

He needs to get the honorary Oscar for his amazing work
Not for this shit
Man, Oscar is not very honorary, people are

I've always mixed up David Cronenberg with David Lynch. Their both have a reputation directing macabre artistic film and exquisite silver hair.

This is so sadly beautiful... Long life to David Cronenberg!

@@purefoldnz3070 NFT bullshit aside, the piece stands on its own merits.
This is so great. He's fortunate to be able to create this for himself.
No, we are fortunate he creates this for us.
long live the new flesh
Really great. He strikes me as a very nice person.
David… wish you stay alive many many years to come…. Long healthy live !
I got a very Dead Ringers vibe from it.
Thank you very much, Mr Cronenberg. Your films helped me a lot. Wonderful works. The last thing that remains is the love of the other.

isnt about selling an NFT?
❤️
David Cronenberg always fascinates.
RIP David Cronenberg
At least he went peacefully in his sleep. That's all that anyone could hope for.
I can't believe how much this affected me
This is an amazing work!. I´m crying.
Brilliant.
A masterpiece.
you're a great director when 56 of your works is way better than hours and hours of many other movies
Tensofthousands times more, easily
Il regista riflette su amore e morte..
Un'opera desolante e diretta, che si collega alla scomparsa della moglie Denise.. La prima volta che l'ho visto,qualche giorno fa,mi sono emozionata! Amo Cronenberg!🖤
Denise era sua sorella, scomparsa l'anno scorso. La moglie si chiamava Carolyn ed è scomparsa nel 2017.
Cronenberg doing his best Dead Ringer impression! 😵
Literally breathtaking...
Long Live the New Flesh
"I love you, sorry for everything. Farewell"
Fa tanto male per quanta bellezza racchiude
This is brilliant
Feels like his 2001 a space odyssey ending
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
That is very insightful.
Long Live the New...Soul🎬...It's Showtime...🎷
For real, I’d hate to see him go. Videodrome is among my top favorites.
If this were Scorsese, the internet would be losing its shit. Well done!
if this were Scorsese, the bed would be much shorter and the soundtrack would be Wild Horses.
Don’t want to be a twat, but it’s actually directed by his daughter Caitlin Cronenberg.
It’s directed by both of them
Amazing
Fascinating
And I am soooo happy we will be getting at least one more feature film from DC next year, can't wait.
tons of Marvel, and DC
@@mtocful I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but no, David Cronenberg not Detective Comics. Cronenberg is set to release his upcoming 'Crimes of the Future' this year.
I feel the need to cry, but I won't.
56 seconds of wonder.
Go ahead, and cry.😢
I think we can all relate to this, I know I can.
Body and spirit
Bellissimo.
Powerful.
I'm watching this alone at nearly 4 am in a dark vacant building. I'm trying so hard not to be terrified right now.
Dying is the most natural thing on Earth. It's not terrifying. It's worse to act badly
I think it shouldn't be terryfying and that's the point, at least one of them.
Wonderful director!
Well done 👏
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Impressive.
Very interning
Long live the new flesh
That's a little too real.
Quanta bellezza
I wonder if he'll use this body double as a cameo in The Shrouds.
Great piece. I'd only change one cut.
he still making movies!
I like David Cronenberg, Dead Ringers is Brilliant and Rabid is terrifying...
Wait, is this Dead Ringers 2?
If Anyone Were To Direct A Movie About My Life, I'd Want The Coen Brothers First And Foremost, If Not David Cronenberg!

Wow
I was expecting something darker like David watching himself decompose into a skeleton or something.
No. 😞
Mr. Cronenberg, If you are watching this, you need not die, yet.
I believe that you still have great potential they has not been utilized.
😀
Grateful Death. So mesmerizing.
Brilliant and oddly funny!
Is it really David who made this ?
I thought it was Caitlin !
what is your favorite cronenberg movie?
radical and beautiful
Hella good prop Cronenburg!
Yes.... prop....
:(
Death of imperior. Build your last place all life. Dont leave it this times.
Beauty.
First time I saw this I cried. Hours later I watched it and laughed.
Section 31 gets into some freaky stuff.
Siento que me intenta decir algo pero no sé que es.
Epochal
Why did it have to be an NFT tho
watch siberia 2020
facts
Be afraid be very afraid
Is that the same model cast of him from slasher season 4?
Possibly.
What else would you do with such a personal possession?
:08--The older David croenenberg gets the more he looks like David lynch
No! The younger David Lynch gets, the more he looks like David Cronenberg! 😒
... You heard me.
Fuckin hell mate.
Ok
Cronenberg è il solito genio. Un performer. Uno che sa dare forma alle cose. Performer appunto.
Però una cosa si può dire.
Non ha meditato abbastanza sulla lezione di Epicuro.
La morte: quando ci sono io non c'è lei e quando c'è lei non ci sono io.
that was weird
David fuckin cronenberg effects
Anybody care to elaborate
it's the death of david cronenberg.
No.
This is philosophy.
"Φιλοσοφία εστί μελέτη θανάτου". eng. Philosophy is about thinking of death.
But not the death of others. Your death.
Greek? It seems more like a French saying.
Narcissus at the lake
Is he dead or not because I’m confused
well,
John Carpenter said he's a prick
Crash!
is this the one he made as an nft or whatever lol
2001 A space Odyssey ending
What?
omg jai peur 😔
people actin in the comments as if it was some real deep shit
All hail the...old flesh? ;P
His daughter made this btw
So, that is his daughter wearing a mask of him?
Am I the only person who thought he was about to...
Yes you are
No.
Why would anyone have such a strong bond to this garbage sack we’re in.
The garbage sack is what makes you be around on this planet
I love my garbage sack
ok
Sorry what
What
He fogor ☠️
