"Violence" generated controversy last week after it was included in the list of the top 10 Canadian films of the year compiled by the Toronto Intl. Film Festival Group.

"Violence," which was shot in and around Toronto, is a U.S. film fully financed by New Line Cinema starring non-Canadian thesps and based on an American script. It was listed as an American film at the Toronto Film Festival.

"The feeling was that even though it is a 100% U.S. production in terms of financing, Cronenberg is a major Canadian filmmaker who has a unique vision," said Toronto Sun film critic Bruce Kirkland, prexyprexy of the Toronto Film Critics Assn. "He always brings his Canadian sensibility to everything he does. This is as Canadian as any film he's ever done."
