	David Cronenberg's The Fly
		Typical of Cronenberg is the combination of graphic sickness and good humour that accompanies Brundle's metamorphosis, which he is at pains always to treat in a philosophical, questioning manner.
		Like many of Cronenberg's rigoroursly intelligent horrors, it can be read as a metaphor for the processes of disease and ageing, and finally comes to an acceptance of the perishability of human tissue as the transformed-beyond- possibility Brundle accepts death at the hands of one who loves him, the neurotic heroine Veronica Quaife (Davis)"
		This gives Cronenberg time to examine the implications of such an event, as the film lays bare our fear of disease, death and change.

	Required Reading: Criticism & Analysis
		You don't read Kael for her opinions (they're frequently wacky and seem to have more to do with some personal grudge or favoritism -- or maybe what she had for dinner -- than what's actually on the screen) but nobody conveys a passion for the movies like she does.
		But I can say, in all modesty, that it's the single most valuable encyclopedic film resource that you can buy -- anywhere, in any form (and it costs less than most of these books individually), because it combines many works into a whole that's even greater than the sum of its considerable parts.
		Nothing could be further from the truth (and as a former Los Angeles Film Critics Association member, I speak from experience).
