Stereo (Tile 3B of a CAEE Educational Mosaic)
Reviewed Dec 26, 2020
David Cronenberg’s first feature. Proffered as an educational film from the fictional Canadian Academy of Erotic Enquiry, the film documents telepathic experiments conducted on a group of young people.
Shot in silent black-and-white with clinical voice-over narration, I found the film near-impenetrable, yet intriguing. It lacks an overt narrative, but the thematic through-line to Cronenberg’s Scanners proves evident.
