Cannes Review: David Cronenberg’s ‘Crimes Of The Future’
Just when his fans may have figured that David Cronenberg had called it a career (he’s now 79 and hadn’t made a feature since the misfired Maps to the Stars in 2014), along comes a film that only the Canadian maestro of the perverse could have created. Obsessed more than ever here with body parts and the twisted and/or constructive uses he sees fit to assign to them, Cronenberg hasn’t made exactly a comedy with Crimes of the Future . But what could have been a grossly and even off-puttingly gruesome display of torturous experiments and corporal corruption has been treated with an unexpectedly light and even playful hand, a sense underlined by the characters’ tacit as well as explicit admissions that they don’t entirely know what they’re doing in their adventurous search to meld the human and the mechanical. Originally readied for production in 2003 before being canceled, this is a film very much targeted to the director’s core audience; rarely, if ever, have human … [Read more...] about Cannes Review: David Cronenberg’s ‘Crimes Of The Future’
