Watch Cronenberg's Segment Online!
At the Suicide of the Last Jew in the World in the Last Cinema in the World (2007) You can now watch David Cronenberg's segment online on YouTube:
At the Suicide of the Last Jew in the World in the Last Cinema in the World.

Again, a huge "thank you" goes to Simon Saucisse for providing this capture from French TV.

Cronenberg said he was inspired to make the film by such as YouTube-style "snuff films", including beheadings like that of Daniel Pearl, and the call by Hezbollah leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasralla, to kill all Jews worldwide.

To Each His Own Cinema
To Each His Own Cinema Variety reports about To Each His Own Cinema presenting in Cannes (see news from 4 March).

David Cronenberg's segment is called: At the Suicide of the Last Jew in the World in the Last Cinema in the World. In this intense piece, the director himself appears as "the last Jew in the world in the last cinema in the world" preparing to commit suicide on television while commentators blather on dispassionately about Jews and cinema.

I believe this is the first time I see Cronenberg making any comment about Judaism.

Read more about this movie on the Official Cannes Festival Site.
