As the president of a trashy TV channel, Max Renn is desperate for new programming to attract viewers. When he happens upon "Videodrome," a TV show dedicated to gratuitous torture and punishment, Max sees a potential hit and broadcasts the show on his channel. However, after his girlfriend auditions for the show and never returns, Max investigates the truth behind Videodrome and discovers that the graphic violence may not be as fake as he thought.

finished watching Videodrome 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
A movie just bursting at the seams (metaphorically, but also kinda physically) with so many ideas about so many things - most of which aren't answered and only bring about more questions - and done so spectacularly well. Despite the leap in technology between what we have today and what's on display here, things grappled with 43 years ago (crazy!) feel just as fresh and relevant in the here and now.

And a beautiful 4K transfer from Criterion makes it just so easy to see how the screen truly is the retina of the mind's eye.
