Although Cronenberg does not transcend himself in his film as he could do brilliantly in "A History Of Violence" or "Cosmopolis" more recently, this film remains unique to the genre to which he devoted himself, that is to say, a cinema of the extremes and of the unconscious impulses.
Maps To The Stars is shaping a bit more Cronenberg's atmosphere, as a kind of metamorphosis of human nature, found in her most recognized disfigurement : the Hollywood sphere, a private sphere, where blends a thousand contradictions. This film is faithful to the cinema of David Cronenberg in his ironic and pessimistic format, even though it is not digging out a new point of view over the transformation of human nature, which nevertheless resonates in each of his films. That's what a true Cronenberg film is : a repressed drive.
