David Cronenberg once again showcases his mastery over the ghastly and the gruesome in his latest body-horror picture "Crimes of the Future". Set in a reality where human bodies are evolving in a way that humanity can't control or understand, Viggo Mortenson and Léa Seydoux play performance artists who perform disturbing, surgery-based, exhibition art by cutting out these newly evolved organs before a live audience. In this world where humans have inexplicably evolved beyond feeling pain; themes of fear, pleasure, repulsion, and sexuality are woven expertly throughout the narrative via erotic mutilation, sexual exhibition, and clandestine acts of "art" that celebrate the grotesque anatomical changes that human bodies are experiencing. Perverse and provocative, it's easy to understand how it might not be most people's cup of tea, however, fans of Cronenberg and his penchant for the grisly will delighted.
