Starring Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis, this science-fiction reimagining pushes David Cronenberg’s preoccupation with body horror to the limits, as a mono-focused scientist (Goldblum) experiments with the transportation of living beings through his invention, the telepod.
A stylish and slick production, The Fly is Cronenberg at his best. This film simultaneously seduces and repulses thanks to the chemistry and carefully drawn characters played by Goldblum and Davis.
Released in 1986, The Fly was Cronenberg's first major commercial success, grossing over US$60 million at the Box Office at the time (equivalent to US$160 million today) and earning an Oscar for Best Makeup.
Includes a pre-screening introduction and live performance by Venus Mantrap
