Director David Cronenberg started his career as many other big name directors with short films. In the 1960s and early 1970s, he made a whole lot of these, also for television. However, "Camera" was his first turn back from full features to quicker pleasures since 1972. And as it's a return of his almost 60-year-old self back to his early days, the film stars one older actor and a whole lot of young children who move in a camera while the actor keeps reminiscing about his past glory, how his best days are behind him and how death may be the next step. I quite liked his quote that you actually record the death of the moment when you record the moment. Besides that, however, it's 6.5 of the most forgettable minutes of Cronenberg's career and I'd really only recommend this short film to Cronenberg completionists and the most hardcore short film lovers.
