21st Century Cult Continues Friday with David Cronenberg’s Crash

Have this article read to you, listen to it like a podcast

David Cronenberg was at the height of his provocation with his 1996 sensation, Crash.

After getting into a serious car accident, a TV director (James Spader) discovers an underground sub-culture of scarred, omnisexual car-crash victims who use car accidents and the raw sexual energy they produce to try to rejuvenate his sex life with his wife (Rosanna Arquette).

Based on the novel of the same name by J.G. Ballard, Crash is Cronenberg at his most daring and unflinchingly clinical.

Crash screens starting Friday, September 22nd.
Friday, Sep 22nd – 7:45pm
Saturday, Sep 23rd – 7:45pm
Sunday, Sep 24th – 5:30pm
