Director David Cronenberg, whose latest cinematic provocation “Crimes of the Future” recently opened nationwide, is getting the retrospective treatment with a six-film series playing the Bill Cosford Cinema in Coral Gables over two weekends in July.

The retrospective is curated by former Miami Herald film critic Rene Rodriguez, now manager and programming director for the Cosford, affiliated with the University of Miami School of Communication. The series opens July 15 with “A History of Violence,” and will be followed by “The Fly” (July 16), “Crash” (July 17), “Shivers” (July 22), “Dead Ringers” (July 23) and “Videodrome” (July 24).

Rene will introduce each of the screenings. All are at 7:30 pm except for “Crash” and “Videodrome,” which will play at 7 pm.

New to the movies of the Canadian filmmaker? Prepare for some mind-bending, sometimes squirm-inducing film trips and strikingly original cinematic visions that are unlike those of any other filmmaker. And best not to watch on a full stomach.
