A must not just for Cronenberg fans but for movie lovers in general.” https://www.david-schwartz.net/new-page-1 daily 1.0 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65f718393e0e3811d2007b3b/6f9603e9-0b78-4ba7-be3a-33326a964069/David+Schwartz+head+shot.jpg Home David Schwartz is a New York-based film curator and writer.
