roger durling, creative director of the santa barbara international film festival (sbiff), interviews the brilliant canadian director david cronenberg after a screening of his excellent new crime drama, eastern promises, with viggo mortensen, a special joint presentation of the ucsb arts & lectures' film series, the student-oriented magic lantern film program, and the sbiff's cinema society.

here's what j. hoberman, of the village voice, wrote of cronenberg in his review of eastern promises:

"I've said it before and hope to again: David Cronenberg is the most provocative, original, and consistently excellent North American director of his generation... neither Scorsese nor Spielberg, and not even David Lynch, has enjoyed a comparable run."

	freakpowertix: 10/13/2007 9:33 PM have you seen eastern promises yet, potsie? it's really great stuff!
	freakpowertix: 10/13/2007 9:35 PM there's this AMAZING fight sequence in a russian bathhouse. it's being compared to psycho for that reason. cronenberg is the new alfred hitchcock. & much nicer, as he suggested during this interview. :)
