Movie Review | Fast Company (Cronenberg, 1979)

From a David Cronenberg auteurist perspective, Fast Company offers something of a challenge. On the surface, it seems totally out of place in his filmography. So many of his movies are cold and weird and scary and maybe a little sexy. But a B-movie racing drama? Where nobody turns into a car? Or attempts coitus with one? That ain't right, I tell ya what. But apparently Cronenberg holds a great amount of affection for this, as he's a bit of a car lover in real life, and I think that shows on screen. The cars in this movie, weird looking things referred to as "funny cars" that stand up on their hind wheels and run on a mixture of nitro and methanol, are shot lovingly, the camera turning its gaze to every little mechanical part so we can almost reach out and touch them. And when they start burning rubber, we're often inside with the driver, knocked about by the vibrations. But this isn't the eroticism of Kenneth Anger's Kustom Kar Kommandos. Cronenberg's love for these machines feels totally guileless and unironic, surprisingly absent of the kinkier dimensions of his better known work.

But most jarring compared to his other films is the amount of warmth present. Cronenberg doesn't just like his cars, he likes his characters too, relishing the chemistry between the drivers and crewmembers. Some of the actors, like William Smith, Nicholas Campbell*, Judy Foster** and Cedric Smith, bring a nice level of texture to their performances, so it feels more like a hangout piece than the B-movie thrills I was led to expect. Although said thrills are still there, through the regular occurrence of fiery accidents and a salacious scene involving two female hitchhikers. (The latter scene offers a certain amount of tension as a character puts down a lit doobie and opens an oil can while in a moving vehicle, which seems like a disaster waiting to happen.) And the movie benefits from the lower budget, the fact that all the tracks seems to be set on sparsely populated fields (shot attractively by Mark Irwin, the first of several fruitful collaborations) helps the characters stand taller, heightening the drama.

And there is an antagonistic figure with the presence of a subtly sleazy and very good John Saxon, as the manipulative money man from the titular oil company who makes sure these characters know their place. While I have no interest in racing, I've always liked the aesthetics of racing uniforms, with their clean primary colours and bold logos, but I suppose if you have enough of those logos on you, they might have a greater hold on you than you'd like to admit, and this movie, while not exactly anticapitalist agitprop, is aware of that tension.

*I'd known Campbell from his role on Da Vinci's Inquest, which was a constant presence on TV as I was growing up even if I may never have watched any single episode all the way through. What I'm getting at is that I'm used to seeing him look kind of old, and that age suits him, and that he looks kind of weird here, possibly because of the clashing shapes of his face and his hair.

**Apparently the Finnish home video release claimed that Jodie Foster was in the movie. As far as I'm aware, there is no relation.

Firefly. That title alone is enough to send millions of TV sci-fi fans into a frenzy, along with its related film, Serenity. Add to those two such productions as The Killing, The L.A. Complex, Stargate: Atlantis and Da Vinci’s Inquest, and you have Jewel Staite, the highly successful and well known actor and VFS graduate. Her newest series The Magicians marks the turnover of January to February this year and can be seen on SyFy. Give it a look!

Hi Gabe! 1, 4, 9, 10, & 14 for the I’m not from the US” ask set

Hi Rebecca!! Thank you so much for the ask!

Hi, I’m not from the US Asks

1. Favourite place in your country?

So I haven’t much chance to explore much of Canada, but in the little corner where I live, my favourite place(s) would probably be Inner Harbour in Victoria, BC, and White Rock, BC, specifically the Pier, and all the little niche touristy shops along the shoreline. Inner Harbour, especially during the summer, is usually packed with buskers and street artists, and less than a block away is the Empress Hotel, The Royal BC Museum, and The Under Sea Gardens. There used to be the Wax Museum, but that got stuck in renovation hell for years, and they had to close it down, unfortunately, but it was still really awesome!

4. Favourite dish specific for your country?

Eh. Poutine.

9. Which of your neighbouring countries would you like to visit most/know best?

Because Canada already borders the US, and I know enough about them, I’m going with Denmark, simply because of that one Island they and Canada fight over and take over from each other every year.

10. Most enjoyable swear word in your native language?

It’s not really a swear, it’s just a name to tease people with. But... y’know...

Hoser

14. Do you enjoy your country’s cinema and/or TV?

I don’t really know about anything recent, cause I don’t have cable, but from when I was younger, there was a whooooole bunch of amazing Canadian shows. We had Yvonne of the Yukon, Jimmy Too Too, ReBoot, Pippy Longstocking, Mr. Dress-Up, Storm Hawks, League of Super Evil, Da Vinci’s Inquest, Murdoch Mysteries. Just, so many good shows.

~ Gabe

IMDB Trivia for “Duane Barry”

- In the supermarket scene Agent Scully buys pickles and ice cream. This is an in-joke as Gillian Anderson was pregnant at the time.

- Chris Carter's directorial debut.

- When Duane Barry is seen on the alien's exam table it is set up to look like Da Vinci's "The Vitruvian Man".

- CCH Pounder received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama.

- Duchovny declared that Mulder wears the acclaimed Speedo in the scene at the pool at his suggestion to Chris Carter. Carter wanted Mulder to be wearing a typically long Californian surfing suit, but Duchovny thought that Mulder would not be doing pool laps in such a suit.

- The red Speedo that Mulder wears when Krycek meets him at the beginning of the episode became a sexual icon. Many years after its appearance, it remained the object of multiple jokes of fans and the crew, particularly Gillian Anderson. In addition, Darin Morgan wrote a gag in the Same 10 so Mulder could wear it again.

- Chris Carter wrote the part of Duane Barry specifically for Steve Railsback.

- At the supermarket checkout, the cost of the items bought by Scully $11.14. Each number opposite of the decimal is one more than the recurring 10,13 theme.

- Two regular cast members of the Canadian TV series "Da Vinci's Inquest" (1998-2006) appear in this episode: Stephen E. Miller (Detective Zack McNab) and Sarah Strange (Helen)

- The writers of the show needed a way to film around Gillian Anderson's late pregnancy and the birth of her baby, so they wrote her disappearance into the show; this is the beginning of that story arc.

- The episode's setting begins in Pulaski, Virginia. Then jumping several years, it moves to the treatment facility in Marion, Virginia. Finally it moves to downtown Richmond, Virginia. It is not explained how Duane Barry and his hostage gets from Marion to Richmond (more than 4 hours apart by car).

- The first episode to end with "To be continued".

Ask anyone who has ever acted across from him in a scene: Nicholas Campbell raises the bar. Demanding the best of himself and others has led to stellar work on Da Vinci's Inquest, The Englishman's Boy and now on CBC's Coroner. Then there are the stories along the way; hear him on Laurence Olivier, Donald Sutherland, Gregory Peck, David Cronenberg, Sonny Grosso, Chris Haddock, Don Johnson and many others.
