David Cronenberg: “I've done nothing but comedies”October 9, 2014 - 15:02 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - David Cronenberg has claimed that all his films are comedies, Digital Spy said. He admitted that they may not follow the "traditional definition of a comedy" but he considers there to be a "humorous aspect" to every project. "At Cannes, someone said, 'Have you ever considered making a comedy?'" the veteran filmmaker told Vulture. "And I said, 'I've done nothing but'. Not maybe the traditional definition of a comedy, where it ends with a feel-good kind of thing, but for me, there is an observed and humorous aspect to the human condition and, of course, exploring the human condition is really what art is about. "And I can't imagine not having humour be part of it. I just can't imagine it." The director is best known for Scanners, Videodrome and more recent films including Cosmopolis and A Dangerous Method. Cronenberg's most recent project - the Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska, John Cusack, Robert Pattinson and Olivia Williams-starring Maps to the Stars - is in cinemas now.
