Cronenberg's genes



In the spring of 2022, the area around David Cronenberg, Canada's world-famous genius, is suddenly becoming lively. It has been decided that ``Crimes of the Future,'' his first new work in eight years, will be submitted to the competition section of the Cannes Film Festival to be held in May.

Following these, ``The Brood'' was released in 1979.
