great review! i enjoyed this film a lot more than others i knew that were fans of cronenberg and wanted to like this film more than they did. aesthetically, it's everything you'd want from cronenberg, however, the ruminativeness this film has and this feeling of uncertainy and vulnerability that viggo mortensen's character expresses well had resonated with me a lot and i feel like distinguishes this one from his previous body horror works.

The scene where Kristen Stewart's character seduced Viggo Mortensen's character was the highlight of the film for me. The moment they kissed, I had an actual epiphany. I suddenly felt like I understood so much of what Cronenberg has been doing for most of his career. I actually shouted in triumph when it hit me. That scene alone was worth the viewing, imo. And also of course, the final shot of Viggo's blissful face was cinematic perfection.

I really dug this film. I need to see it again to get a better grasp of these themes. I really liked how "body horror" was merely a setting, and the film itself is more of an existential drama more along the lines of Crash. To me, Crash is about human technology rendering sex obsolete, and the need to replace the old sex with something new. And to me, Crimes of the Future is about human technology rendering humanity itself obsolete, and the need to replace that old humanity with something new. Some resist it and turn that existential pain into art; some embrace it and transform into something monstrous, or beautiful. I also really liked the ending. Without spoiling it, there's a light at the end of the tunnel; a twisted sense of hope and optimism that I found rather beautiful, where often his films tend to feel pessimistic and nihilistic (which I also love, but it's nice to have something else). I'd love to hear your full thoughts on some of his other films, particularly Videodrome and Crash!

I'm a huge Cronenberg fan - I have most of his films in my collection (I even enjoyed his novel Consumed). Viggo is absolutely one of my favorite film actors. Sadly, I found Crimes to be dull and derivative - not of another's work but of Cronenberg himself - Cronenberg imitating Cronenberg. It felt like he copied and pasted a bunch of different elements from earlier movies that were way more fascinating in their original form. It took an act of will for me to finish it - I found it lifeless and dull. It seemed to me that Cronenberg played to his brand and gave people the body horror Cronenberg that they've been craving, but it really felt like he didn't have his heart in it. I'm sure it was much easier to market it as a straight-up body horror project. He's done this type of thing so much better in the past - this felt forced and self-conscious.

My thoughts on "Crimes" is more of a deep-dive into the metaphorical meanings within Cronenberg's on-the-nose, satirical (albeit horrific) and sometimes humorous view of modern-day technology (ex: eating chair, sleeping bed, autopsy bed), exhibitionism and voyeurism (ex: Saul, Caprice, Timlin, two women with drills), pop culture (ex: Klinik/Ear Man, others), celebrity status (Saul and Caprice), and ultimately the "plastic" society that we have become (ex: plastic eaters, non-plastic eaters, and those "evolving" into eating plastic). There are also the "policing agencies" (Cope, Wippet, Timlin) that try to regulate and/or terminate humanities permanent decline into a meaningless existence of seeking out ever-greater, "shocking" sensualities (ex: government's attempts to regulate social media and the moral decline of society). The story clearly identifies "plastic" as the synthetic, cheap, easily consumed and digested content in social media (I think of "Barbie Girl" by Aqua, Madonna's "Material Girl"). Each of the main characters is participating in the so-called "art" in some way with a brief glimpse of a "normal person" who dies from eating "plastic". The boy Brecken, from the outset, has already "evolved" into a full plastic eater. The mother, representing parents of young "social media artists" today, smothers him. This represents the consequences of parents allowing their children to consume and produce cheap, easy to consume exhibitionism eventually leading them to be killed by it (ex: kids being killed by their stalkers, older men being fans of young girls) as if the parent was the actual murderer. Through the entire story, the main character Saul resists "evolving" into a plastic eater (ex: "tumor-like organs" that grow inside him = the cancers of society) using alien-looking tech just to eat and sleep (Ex: cpap, hospital surgical devices, feeding tubes, mechanised beds etc). Finally, after just giving in to "evolving" into a plastic eater does he find complete contentment and peace. However, never does he realize that his "painless" exhibitionism is the very cause of his morphing into a plastic eater; he's now desensitised to it all. Along the way, we also meet two woman voyeurists who drill holes into people's heads representing the mindless, intellegence draining people of KZbin Channels and pornography; they create content that displays to everyone their so-called "inner beauty" but is secretely "horrific" for us to watch, and we can't turn our eyes away (ex: Adrienne, Ear Man, zipper device, etc.). In addition, Ear Man (Klinik) demonstrates how even the hippocritical Producer of his "Art" (ex: the music and entertainment industry) can be the very one who exploits the financial successes but joins the "popular" view of hating it (ex: anonymous likes, dislikes, etc.). There are many more metaphorical references throughout the story and Cronenberg uses the genre as a warning of the future "horrors" of becoming "Plastic Eaters". Cronenberg asks us If we are disgusted by what we are watching and thus why are we not disgusted by what we "consume" in today's media? He suggests that if we are not disgusted by what we're watching, we're already a plastic eater. Indeed, ultimately society will become senseless, meaningless, painless, completely devoid of the characteristics that make us human if we don't stop eating plastic both metaphorically (ex: social media, empty entertainment, exhibitionism, voyeurism, pop culture, celebrity status, etc.) and physically (ex: oceans being full of plastic: fish eat it, we eat the fish). Neither has any nutritional value and can kill us metaphorically, physically, spiritually, and socially.

I really enjoyed your insightful and articulate review! I love Cronenberg's horror too, but personally i kinda wished he would take it even further especially in this day and age. To me Videodrome still is one of the best movies of all time and it was revolutionary in its time, it was the first to have this merging of technology and media into a new kind of flesh to house our hedonistic souls. Well this time is more like changing our bodies for the sake of creating art in a society that fetishizes surgery? To me it only made sense if when watching the movie, whenever they said growth or tumor or new organ or gland, i replaced it with the word idea (artistic idea). That's how i got the notion that maybe their lack of pain perception reflects how desensitized we are about to become (Viggo feels pain because he is the tortured artist). The thing is i seen so many iterations of Cronenberg's work, so many movies that drew inspiration from it i wished this movie would be more, you know, extreme (or maybe i'm just too damn desensitized).I expected Cronenberg to take his theme of merging or changing the human form to new heights (instead of turning it into a recycle bin...really) I'm not saying i did not like the movie, the movie was great and he made all the cast look great, i even loved Kristen Stewart, i think she did an awesome job depicting this horny weirdo. I am a big fan of his use of practical effects but i can't say they where exceedingly gory (not to me anyway). My gripe was the ending, i thought it was too abrupt and as i said before it was a bit disappointing to me, although satisfyingly grotesque. That being said, it is a great comback from a director that influenced horror as we know it, and i hope he makes more movies.

Videodrome is more relevant than ever right now, but I also think that Crimes of the Future has a real resonance what with the trans contagion that's going on. We have teen girls chopping off their breasts because they think it will save them from the nightmare of becoming a woman, and teen boys looking to castrate themselves, like Jazz Jennings did.

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 I don't think there is any trans epidemic going on today, it's just kids being as confused and misguided as they ever where and twisted people taking advantage of it like they always did. You are right, it's true horror but the reason why i even watched Crimes of the future was the fact that it did not try to push any politics on me. Sure, you can interpret it in different ways, you could say for example the movie talks about transhumanism or you could use your interpretation, saying it's about trans kids today, the thing that i respect about it is the fact that it doesn't preach, it just tells a good story. Granted there is a bit of preaching, but it's about plastic pollution and not fucking gender politics.

It’s a masterpiece of a movie. Talks about evolution of tech yet the secret hinderance of humanity. The perversion of what’s suppose to enhance humanity towards kindness and generosity and no corruption becomes the actual goal. How he presents the incredible advancements of science but yet the infrastructure (the buildings the graffiti the grittiness) remains intact or even worse than it is. The biggest take as well is how the father thought he was natural and embracing body evolution despite the source of power (society) condemning them as plastic eaters yet it was the actual governmental organizations that created them to be part of the “parasitic” elements of society. I could write a whole essay but I believe that’s my major take. We’re so distracted with the sexual elements that we get seduced and deviate from the true intent of human evolution .

I totally agree with a lot of what you're saying, Vigo and the acting all around just sucked you emotionally into the film. The film dialogue is super pretensions, poetic, and philosophical, but Cronenberg has always been a rather explicitly philosophical filmmaker, and that's a large part of why I love his films. This one felt very much like Vigo's character had surrogate traits for Cronenberg himself, and I found that that seemed to reveal a lot about Cronenberg's creative process and how he views art and his films. felt to me like parts of the movie were commenting or explaining some of the spine of Cronenberg's whole career and sort of philisophical goal or aim.

LOVE the concepts and ideas. The acting is wonderful and Lea Seydoux is stunning. Knowing pretty much his entire filmography, I feel the body horror elements no longer have effect, in particular the mind/flesh furniture in the film. (They also seemed a bit too plastic. There was that missing, glistening fluid, or perspiration or something, kind of like that texture you felt was missing from THE NORTHMAN.) I don't agree with Mortensen's body contortions, unless they were meant to be humorous. And if it is intended to be a somewhat, satirically pretentious film, then I could accept that. Otherwise, an absolutely marvelous cornucopia of Cronenberg's themes, in a film that seems strained and tired of its parameters. One other thing: the body horror was, at the same time, outstandingly improved, during the autopsies and how the mutated organs were expressed.

So much to say about this film, a multi-layered dissection (wink) of the artist, art, and human existence and meaning itself. Contradictory beings, walking paradoxes. Lovely analysis as always, I felt a lot of the same touchpoints (self-reflection by Cronenberg and so forth) upon first viewing. The subjective meaning and meaninglessness of art. If this is David’s final work, it captures the essence of his oeuvre remarkably well. Leaves you thinking.
@RealJeffTidwell2 жыл бұрын
I’ll add, given that this was originally written in 1998 between Crash and Exystence, it struck me immediately that this film is a bit of a synthesis of those two. Some of the imagery specifically seems to have been used in eXy while Crimes was placed on the back burner. I agree that Crimes is a bit controlled and lacking that usual Cronenberg edge or uneasiness (I didn’t get queasy at all during this) which ironically neared its peak in those other 1990s works.

I recognize the density of ideas, but it didn't entirely work for me me as a cohesive story. Interestingly, I found the more conventional subplot elements distracting. I've come to realize it's hard to do exposition well. I'm glad you also saw the humor - I found myself laughing when the audience remained mostly silent in their reverence - not unlike some of the over-the-top, but all too familiar, characters in the movie. For me, its sledge-hammer approach ultimately came off as more parody than humor. Sometimes a scalpel will do more. Ahem. Anyway, the acting here is first-rate all-around, and I agree - Kristen Steward is outstanding! It didn't have the same impact like so many other Cronenberg films, but it's still intriguing. For me, a more conventional examination of the real-life subculture of body modification would have been far more compelling and horrific! Excellent review!

Why it be so shocking and horrific for them to accept that someone can process inorganic material...Bleh.
