Cinema of the Body
1960s–present·15 films
Films that use the human body as their primary canvas — transformation, mutilation, disease, pregnancy, aging, sexuality, and physical extremity. From Cronenberg's flesh-tech fusions to Ducournau's cannibalistic awakenings to Japanese body horror. The body as battleground, prison, artwork, and ultimate truth.
When cinema stops hiding behind metaphor and confronts what it means to live inside a body, the results are the most visceral art form in existence.
