Great movie. I don't think I have experienced more of a feverdream-like feeling in film.

Wasn't this one posted just earlier this week?
It was a different photo: https://piefed.social/c/ClassicFilms/p/1919626/existenz-1997
(imho Videodrome and Naked Lunch were much better movies tho...)
Cronenberg's filmography is pretty even all things considered and each movie has something unique to offer so its a matter of preference.
idk.... I've only seen 5 of his movies but personally those seemed to fall into a couple different tiers:
- innovative cult classics, some of the most memorable movies out there: Videodrome, Naked Lunch
- standard issue movies, well done but typical fare: Dead Zone, The Fly
- I see what he was going for but it didn't really work and he did it better previously: eXistenZ
I'm not hatin tho, if eXistenZ resonated for you that's cool, I should def. check out some of his other stuff too.
