David Cronenberg's family are making a kiling at the box office. First his son, Brandon Cronenberg, introduced us to his cinematic world with Infinity Pool, Possessor and Antiviral. Now the family business has expanded with his daughter, Caitlin Cronenberg's directorial debut, Humane, arriving in cinemas.
Caitlin Cronenberg's debut, Humane, stars Emily Hampshire and Peter Gallagher, and as you might suspect, is on brand with a dark socialogical premise and playful black humour. The press release describes this as "a dystopian satire taking place over a single day, months after a global ecological collapse has forced world leaders to take extreme measures to reduce the earth’s population.'
I, for one, would love to listen in on the Cronenberg’s family dinner table conversations to hear what horrors they're cooking up next.
Humane is available to watch in select cinemas and arrives on Shudder in July.
