Crash (1996) (2D/subtitles)

Forget about the brakes. David Cronenberg's disturbing cult thriller returns to theaters for its 30th anniversary in a restored 4K version.

The 90s, a modern city with highway ropes and thousands of cars on the streets. After a car accident, film producer James Ballard (James Spader) begins an affair with Helen and meets Vaughan (Elias Koteas), a passionate about dangerous collisions who recreates legendary crashes from the past in the evenings. The characters share a fascination with danger and death, immersing themselves in an underground culture where the line between man, body and technology is blurred.

The groundbreaking, controversial at the time of its premiere, Cronenberg's work received the Special Jury Prize at Cannes “for courage, bravery and originality”.

The cool, metallic, stylized adaptation of J.G. Ballard's novel is a vision that goes under the skin — and deep in our minds — of modernity, in which we need extreme stimuli to feel anything. Crash, one of the most important cinematic events of the 90s, is an unfailing source of inspiration for films that collide technology with human tissue. There is no need to fasten your seatbelts - frontal collision guaranteed.
