Director Spotlight: David Cronenberg
One of the most daring, innovative, and cerebral filmmakers of the last half century, David Cronenberg is the icy cool progenitor of the body horror genre—long known as the King of Venereal Horror—though his surreal, disturbing films often transcend genre and defy easy categorization. Join us as we ring in our new Director Spotlight series with the man who made horror movies intellectual...and sex the stuff of nightmares.
Crash
October 22 | 8:00 PM
"Crash" is about the strange lure of the auto collision, provoking as it does the human fascination with death and the tendency to eroticize danger. Most motorists will slow down to stare at the scene of a collision; they may feel their pulses quickening and become aware of the fragility of their own bodies. The characters of "Crash" carry this awareness a step further, cherishing and nurturing it. For them, a car collision is a sexual turn-on, and a jolting life force they come to crave.
