Profile of Crash

The mood of Crash is disturbing, sexual, and bleak. The plot centers around a dangerous attraction, obsession, and psychological motives. It is a drama and erotic movie. Stylistically, Crash stars an ensemble cast. In approach, it is serious and realistic. The pacing is slow. Crash takes place, at least partly, in a hospital. It happens in the 1990s. It is based on a book. Crash is known for being a Cannes festival winner and controversial. Note that it includes strong sexual content, nudity, and violent content.

Summary of Crash

After surviving a head-on car collision that triggers a raw sexual awakening, a bored, nihilistic television producer assembles a following of other bored, death-obsessed nihilists who seek kinky thrills by investigating the ostensible erotic basis of the twisted metal, skid marks, and adrenaline rushes of auto smash-ups. Based on the eponymous novel by J. G. Ballard. The film's controversial thesis won accolades from some (a Cannes Special Prize) and censure from others. Available in rated and unrated versions.

I'm not quite sure what David Cronenberg is trying to say in Crash, but whatever it is, he deserves a lot of credit for having the nerve to put it on screen and face the consequences. Full Review

You may well hate Crash, but if intensity is what you seek in a darkened theatre, you'll hate missing it even more. Full Review

This film is not for everyone; it is one of the most intensely erotic, sexually charged and otherwise transgressive films I've ever seen produced by "mainstream" cinema. I love "Crash" for these reasons, but for a lot of people, it may be too much,... Read and rate it

This movie was soooo excruciatingly bad. Don't say I didn't warn you. If you rent it and watch in disbelief, fervently praying that you will get the point and it will get better then stop deluding yourself, hit the Eject button, put it in the... Read and rate it
