Crash (Cronenberg)
Directed by David Cronenberg1h 40m1996
A car crash victim inexplicably finds himself aroused by car accidents and becomes involved with an underground subculture of like-minded souls.
Our read: Crash (Cronenberg) (1996) reads as a heavy, measured, surreal drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook, with a strong directorial signature.
Heavy, measured, measured drama, surreal in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold.
