“Crimes of the Future” is being released tomorrow. It’s David Cronenberg’s best movie since 2005’s “A History of Violence”; Meditative, horrific, unique and visionary.
One thing you can expect from this film is Cronenberg’s usual knack for avoiding conventionality. His parasite-filled, sexually taboo, and ultra-violent art is what dreams are made of. Or are they nightmares?
This latest surreal body-horror statement from Cronenberg is based on a screenplay he wrote 20 years ago, titled “Painkillers”. It was set to star Nicolas Cage. In this 2022 version, Viggo Mortensen has taken over the lead role.
I spoke at length with Cronenberg about this new film, his career, and the Cannes walkouts that seem to occur every time he premieres a movie on the Croisette.
As expected, Snyder's latest is being torn apart by TIFF attendees. No mercy given. The film, which had its world premiere this evening, is being called by some one of the worst movies to ever premiere at the festival.
