Crimes of the Future - Reviews

...so loaded does it come with his signature themes and gooey, seemingly hand-crafted contours.

...a body-horror atrocity exhibition in the Ballardian style that he gave us in Crash...

...can even be described as successfully ‘Cronenbergian’...

Extreme surgery replaces sex in body horror maestro David Cronenberg’s ambitious blends of science fiction and film noir.

Hypnotic, maddening, pervy and disturbing. In other words, vintage Cronenberg.

Digging into the art world’s juicy guts and suturing it up as a compelling, ambitious sci-fi noir, Crimes of the Future thrills...

...there’s something almost soulful about these people trying to somehow adapt to and even celebrate the hellish world they’ve inherited.

...uses its premise to question the authorship of the human body, tap into the fear of losing it, and reach towards the seductive embrace of what comes next.

Ever the master filmmaker, Cronenberg's cool, clinical filmmaking style perfectly expresses and visualizes his themes, and Howard Shore's thrumming score gives an edge of dread.

...not as freaky as peak Cronenberg, but it still cuts deep.

...is at its most intriguing when it focuses on its discussion of transgressive art and body modification (...) and its underlying questioning of authorial ownership and intent.

...sick – and not in a good way.

Begreppet ”inre skönhet” får en ny innebörd i David Cronenbergs nya film ”Crimes of the future”, hans första på åtta år.

Klart är dock att han vill säga något om hur den moderna människans mål att uppnå en tillvaro utan sjukdomar och smärta inte är mycket att sträva efter.

Viggo Mortensen har aldrig sett äldre ut: spöklikt grå med sömnstörd blick och spår av fysiska prövningar.
