Press Clips: September 2007 Archives

September 7, 2024

AMY TAUBIN: I found a piece that someone had posted on Ain't It Cool News about having seen a preview of [Eastern Promises].

DAVID CRONENBERG: Was it the guy who was obsessed with Viggo's balls?

AT: I don't know if I performed an act of repression, but I don't remember seeing his balls.

DC: You do see them. It's just that they go by rather quickly.

AT: Right. I meant I didn't notice them in particular.

DC: It wasn't like there was a close-up of them. But this guy was obsessed. He even wrote "big hairy balls." Well, that's one way of looking at it. They're definitely there, as you would imagine, but it's only if you're looking for them that that's what you see. Because mostly he's shot in full figure. So when people decide to run the DVD frame by frame, they are going to see everything at one point or another. Of course, a lot of the time it's going to be slightly blurred because he's in motion.
