A History of Violence

Paced by Viggo Mortensen's restrained performance as a closet psychopath, the blood flows freely in David Cronenberg's most traditional flick to date. But that's not to say the man who brought you The Fly and Naked Lunch doesn't lose a few screws along the way, leading to a set of extras that thoroughly probes the director's warped mind. "Acts of Violence" gets VIP access to the set during filming, showing messy decapitations, murdered children, and the flick's "gangster sex" scene. "Too Commercial for Cannes" tracks the director and his cast during the French film festival's debut of Violence, while "Violence's History" painstakingly outlines the extra spilled innards that only survived the international cut of the flick.
