Narrative and spectacle describe two extremes of film content, but the oeuvres of John Cassavetes and David Cronenberg resist such categorization. This book sets out to articulate alternative ways of appreciating film aesthetics outside the narrative/spectacle continuum.

Narrative and spectacle describe two extremes of film content, but the oeuvres of John Cassavetes and David Cronenberg resist such categorization. Instead, Robert Furze argues, the defining characteristic of these directors'' respective approaches is that of ''visceral'' cinema - a term that illustrates the anxiety these filmmakers provoke in their audiences. Cassavetes demonstrates this through disregard for plot structure and character coherence, while Cronenberg''s focus is on graphic depictions of mutilation, extreme forms of bodily transformation and violence.
