Slant's 100 Best Sci-Fi Movies of All Time (100 movies items)

"A beautifully poignant tale of love and heartbreak cocooned in the outré trappings of its maker’s distinctive splatter-punk aesthetic, The Fly represents the apotheosis of David Cronenberg’s early obsessions. The story of scientist Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), who, in a fit of drunken jealousy, tests his new teleporter only to find himself fused with a housefly, the film is a testament to the elastic properties of genre as metaphor. Cronenberg reappropriates the original’s schlocky damse"

"The Fly (1986) Naucnik eksperimentusici ce slucajno stvoriti od sebe gnusno stvorenje dostojno gadjenja. Cronenberg igra na svoju najsigurniju kartu - postepeno veoma detaljno i realno prikazivanje transformacije covjeka u insekta. Kroz njegovu metamorfozu i kroz oci njegove djevojke suocicemo se sa istinskim paklom i posledicama poigravanja sa prirodnim zakonima. "

"Re-watch - Oct. 26th This was my second time watching The Fly, and I appreciated some aspects far more this time around. I was more invested in the characters than the last time I watched it, and the central relationship has moments that are genuinely heartbreaking. Of course Goldblum's performance is still the best thing about the film, and Geena Davis is great as usual. The effects still hold up, and the music is brilliant throughout. There's really nothing to complain about here, and yet for"
