Veteran movie director David Cronenberg has claimed that all his films are comedies.
The Maps to the Stars filmmaker told Vulture: "At Cannes, someone said, 'Have you ever considered making a comedy?'
"And I said, 'I've done nothing but'. Not maybe the traditional definition of a comedy, where it ends with a feel-good kind of thing, but for me, there is an observed and humorous aspect to the human condition and, of course, exploring the human condition is really what art is about.
"And I can't imagine not having humour be part of it. I just can't imagine it."
The Canadian director is best known for films such as Scanners, Videodrome and more recent movies including Cosmopolis and A Dangerous Method.
Cronenberg's latest film Maps to the Stars is out now and features Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska, John Cusack, Robert Pattinson and Olivia Williams.
