I do like most of the Cronenberg films I have seen with the exception of strangely enough of Crash, which I think is possibly at this moment viewed as his greatest work or at least with newer cinephiles.

I am not that big on Cronenberg, but why is one guy complaining about Crimes of Future being strained seriousness because a significant amount of the film is meant to be satirical or lightly comedic, if you are complaining about something as being obvious, at least be accurate in knowing the genre.

It wouldn't be my particular choice, and I think I like The World (2004) more; but sure, and if you state this with any Jia Zhangke as one of the best of the 21st century, you are probably correct.

Can I ask do you know of any other examples of him talking about Daney? because maybe there is other examples but this is one of his more harsh remarks, that I can of. So I was wondering if he ever spoken somewhat more positively on him?

He does like Michel Ciment though, and that might be it. Also if you include Pascal Bonitzer into the group of critic.

The quote I am talking about is:
"What is a novel? What is a film? What is art? To ask Serge Daney what is at this point. It isn't, but what is a not Daney? A common French? The French mediocrity. No, nothing. Good, we'll see.

I was actually very moved by First Name: Carmen when I saw it two years ago and think the reason why is that it is a story of an act of protest that collapse into suicide or possibly the inverse,
