I agree, but the issue isn't that one explores psychological elements while the other doesn't but how intelligently or sophisticatedly they're explored. Cronenberg is a more 'intellectual' filmmaker than Nolan so it follows that his films tend to be more intellectually interesting. That doesn't make him a better director than Nolan (in my opinion he isn't) or the Fly a better film than DKR (quite the opposite). They just excel in different areas.
