Description

David Cronenberg regularly uses the physical body as his cinematic subject, and in CRASHpresented here in its NC-17 versionhe delves into the surreal subculture of car crash fetishism. James Spader, Elias Koteas, and Holly Hunter star as members of an underground community of people who become sexually aroused by car accidents. As they grow more obsessed with their unique kink, the boundary between pleasure and pain dangerously blurs. Explicit and provocative, CRASH premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, where it elicited boos from the audience, and also received a rare Special Jury Prize (allegedly despite the vehement objections of jury president Francis Ford Coppola).
