CRIMES OF THE FUTURE

A slasher movie of a different kind: Viggo Mortensen and Léa Seydoux star as a performance art power couple in the near future, where »surgery is the new sex«. Their art: in front of an ecstatic live audience she tattoos and removes her partner’s organs which keep developing like cancer. Human evolution has taken a mightily weird turn in David Cronenberg’s latest dystopian body horror, intelligently reminiscent of his classics like EXISTENZ, CRASH and VIDEODROME.
