    Crash (1996) (Dir. Cronenberg)



    After getting into a serious car accident, a TV director discovers an underground sub-culture of scarred, omnisexual car-crash victims who use car accidents and the raw sexual energy they produce to try to rejuvenate his sex life with his wife.

    Pinhead got to pick this week. Sorry for the late start everyone.

    If anybody does end up watching this, go for the uncut NC-17 version. I got links if needed.

    Been meaning to see this movie for a long time (often considered one of the best of the 90s), but never got around to it. I won't be able to catch it this week, but I'll definitely get to it shortly.

    so much better than the other crash

    i know people who were around when it came out and said they walked out of theatres because they were so uncomfortable. it didn't have that visceral an effect on me, but what could have turned into a goofy, trite, look-how-profound-this-is premise really doesn't it's one of my favorite films in the genre. also, cronenberg may be the best canadian director ever. cosmopolis was grossly underrated.

    This was really quite amazing, and probably the next best Cronenberg film I've seen to Videodrome. Cronenberg's singular aesthetic is never more present than in the tense meanderings of the broken psyches on display, scars and flesh resembling the damage and body of the machines that first caused their psycho-pathological conflation of sexual expression and mechanical generation. As usual, Cronenberg flirts with notions of mechanized humanity, this time boldly—perhaps prophetically—linking technical and physical reproduction. A world of its own, he invites the viewer to enter the psychological reality inhabited by the performers, each of whom are bonded by an exacting discovery of self, of being and flesh. A superbly provocative and daring venture into elements of life otherwise unknown.

    90/100

    Glad a few of you are fans. Doesn't get anywhere near the love it deserves.
