David Cronenberg In the first decade of the XNUMXst century, he made only three films, the last two in a much more commercial line than had been usual for him to date. These three films were curiously produced by three different countries.
In 2002 he carried out «Spider«, Although even before this feature film, in 2002, he would shoot the short film« Camera », which commemorated the 25th anniversary of the Toronto Film Festival. Precisely the Toronto Film Festival was one of the places where "Spider" triumphed, there it won the award for best film. This highly accomplished psychological drama also won the Palme d'Or at Cannes and led the filmmaker to win the award for best director at the Sitges Film Festival.
His next film, unlike the previous one that was produced in Canada, was produced in the United States. Is about "A history of violence»From 2005, a film that meant a change by the author towards a much more commercial cinema than the one his fans were used to, but without changing style or diminishing in quality. With this film he once again conquered the Toronto Film Festival, where this time he not only won the award for best film, but also the award for best Canadian film and best director. "A history of violence" received many awards and nominations, such as two nominations for the Oscar and another two for the Golden Globes.
In 2007 David Cronenberg filmed the British production «Eastern promises«, A film that follows the line of his previous work« A history of violence », where violence is one of the main themes but in a very different way from how the filmmaker treated this aspect in previous decades. The film was nominated at various festivals and galas such as the Oscars, the Golden Globes or the BAFTAs, but where the director triumphed again was in Toronto, where he won the audience award for best film.
