Crimes of the Future
David Cronenberg’s latest feature is a disturbing vision of a future in which the human body has begun to mutate, creating new opportunities – and horrors. Saul Tenser (Mortensen) has become famous as a performance artist, using the surgery of his regenerative organs as a spectacle. This draws the attention of an underground collective obsessed with the next stage of human evolution that looks to exploit him for their own gain.
A loose remake of one of his earliest films, Crimes of the Future is classic Cronenberg, with all of the body horror you’d expect from the master director.
