Yes. I've been a fan of Cronenberg for a long time. He's not a perfect auteur (sometimes his actor's performances are startlingly weak) but I don't think there's been such a consistently surreal and thoughtful voice in film. Lynch is close, more pure surrealism, less body-horror.
The television screen is the retina of the mind's eye. Therefore, the television screen is part of the physical structure of the brain. Therefore, whatever appears on the television screen emerges as raw experience for those who watch it. Therefore, television is reality, and reality is less than television.
