Only for fans that must have every bit of Cronenberg minutae
This strange gem fits suitably in the creche of Cronenberg bit it’s not for everyone that loves Cronenberg….Just the ones that are insanely in need of everything he has ever created. Its not because it’s a bad film, on the contrary it is very intriguing. Its just incredibly slow and the sparse environment lack of color and mostly silent audio makes for a surreal but not very compelling film. There is no soundtrack…At all. There is no real dialog just moments of narration, which of course paints the picture moreso than the acting and mise en scene. Set in the Future, we are treated to a pseudo-documentary based on the scientific workings of a parapsychologist named Luther Stringfellow a famed member of the fictitious Canadian Academy for Erotic Inquiry. His thesis; It is hoped that telepathic groups, bonded in polymorphous sexual relationships, will form a socially stabilizing replacement for the “obsolescent family unit”. The subjects will be seven young volunteers who will submit to experimental brain surgery to endow them with telepathic abilities and quench their ability to speak and be recorded daily. The film serves as a record of said experiment. This is where the film kinda falls down. The film gives us some interesting characters to watch, but their silence doesn’t allow us to really know sympathize with them. Its like watching an acting class exercise in “emoting” or “mugging”. A pantomime this complex needs some form of interpretive audio. While it is interesting to watch the actors go about their “telepathic” play, the drama comes off as stilted due to the highly scientific nature of the narration. Some long sequences that involve little or no narration do not pass quickly and create a kind of dream logic between film and audience. Are we getting what he is showing us? I dunno, as some of the action is so interpretive that we could be on a completely different plane of reasoning than what Cronenberg could be trying to describe. Heady, perhaps, but I think that Cronenberg was not trying to be pretentious, I think he was doing what a lot of first time film students do. Get in over their heads with grand ideas. I can forgive as I have done that myself, which is why I gave it 7 stars. Its not bad its just not for everybody.

A curiosity; perhaps only for utmost cinephiles and Cronenberg devotees
It’s rather fascinating to go back and watch David Cronenberg’s earliest films. One readily recognizes what would come to be hallmarks of his works, including especially artful shot composition and content revolving around an intersection of body, mind, sex, and alteration. ‘Stereo’ (and 1970’s ‘Crimes of the future’) is also, however, unmistakably a reflection of a filmmaker just cutting his teeth. The rudimentary, almost spartan presentation says “student film” as much as it does “art film,” and the production was pointedly low budget. Quietly bewitching as the university filming location is, there are no further adornments of set design or decoration; in addition to the enticing atmospheric music, the soundtrack is comprised entirely of narration added in post-production, with no innate audio. And the fundamental conveyance of plot, such as it is, is so loose and almost free-form that it’s particularly helpful to have the context of an outside synopsis on hand to understand the course of events.

While modern cinema as a medium is audiovisual in nature, that essence is made most apparent where the components are divorced. One can experience any conventional film from either audio or visuals alone and nonetheless obtain a significant if incomplete understanding of the narrative content. In a feature like this, the sequencing of the visuals relate certain events, but each successive image by itself communicates little if anything; the narration provides context and a measure of substance, but is also characterized by such a verbosely blustery quasi-scientific lexicon that the narration is equal parts meaningful and nonsensical. Noting the distinct lack of resources Cronenberg had to work with, ‘Stereo’ is suitably well made, with actors who adequately play their parts and writing that is serviceable in relating an intriguing concept.

What is abundantly clear to me, though, is that whatever else is true of this picture, it’s one for a limited audience. Movie-goers with a wide appreciate of everything the world of cinema has to offer may find this worth a look, and die-hard fans of Cronenberg. In the very least, it’s interesting as a look into the early development of an acclaimed filmmaker. For my part, I did enjoy ‘Stereo,’ though it is less a title to entertain, as a viewing experience, than it is a curio to admire for its place in film history. So long as you keep that perspective in mind, this is a fine way to spend 60 minutes on a lazy day.
