I loved the last scene. I had chills from the moment his eatware chair powered down until he ate the plastic and realized Dotrice was right and he had been fighting the natural evolution of his own body and that he really was the future of humanity. I get chills thinking about it now, especially the close up of his face crying with relief and joy. It was beautiful.
😂I found this scene incredibly funny, which is something great because was not expecting the irony. Loved it, I laughed out loud
I loved it too. I found it so satisfying. I thought it was great as an ending, but I wanted so much more. There's no indication that the film was coming to an end at that point, it was a shock.
This is my fave too and the music is amazing in that scene. I loved how the breakfast chair started purring at the end when he ate the plastic food.
I never knew that Cronenberg wrote this screenplay in between Crash and Existenz, but that makes SO much sense.
The theme of the ambiguous intersection of sex and trauma is obviously picking up where Crash left off, and other ideas that showed up later in Existenz, are introduced here, such as the confluence of natural biology and artificial technology.
It's amazing how Cronenberg's themes and artistic preoccupations remain so relevant, even years after their original conception or execution.
I think he must have a uniquely potent intuitive understanding of certain obscure yet salient features of the modern psyche. Cronenberg knows things about us that we don't even know about ourselves.
And that's probably the most unsettling thought I've had so far this year.
Every review I’ve seen they didn’t like the movie, glad to find someone who enjoyed it, I love it! I agree with so much, it’s so beautiful in the weirdest way. The world he built is super captivating and I loved the conversations that were had as well.
This is the first review I've seen of it and it did my heart good, as I just, JUST got home from seeing the movie and I absolutely adored every second of it. Great point, Cronenberg definitely "built a world", as you put it... I kept thinking the same thing.
I quite liked it. I want to watch it again before I render a final verdict, but I think it was really cool. It had some structure and flow issues, but I can get past that kind of stuff and some of my favorite Cronenberg movies always have some issues like that.
Cronenberg fans usually like it. I am a huge Cronenberg fan and I was lost a bit when I first watched it but the second watching really clicked. I love it.
The most annoying thing about internet reviews is the focuse on the gore aspect of the movie. "It was wasssss so goryyyyyy, omggggg". Who cares, what about every other element of the movie ? Direction, photography, storytelling, music, etc. This review sounds like the only well tought out analysis on RUclips, I was so tired of "it wassss so grossssssssss"
I am absolutely impressed with your film critique. It is refreshing to hear a review who is intelligent, sharp and able to dissect art house stylized films. Thank you!
I also found the film fascinating. And it also reminded me of his past films: The Fly, Crash, Videodrome. I love the bleak world he created, it reminded me a bit like the world in the film 'Children of Men'. I am interested in posthuman, neohuman, eveloution & the environment so I was digging Cronenberg's take on the future of humanity. I personally loved the ending and makes you think what will happen next for that certain character and how the world will change from that revelation. My gripe was also the dialogue and at times sounded garbled. It could be from the actor's speaking English with their thick accents or the theaters sound system. I checked out Dead Ringers after and oh boy that is a great flick. Jeremy Irons was fantastic.
One thing I have always admired about Cronenberg is that he never catered to anyone, you had to take him as he is. He demanded something from an audience.
One of those rare directors who's been cranking out brilliant work for 50 years.
@@CRM-114 can he do body horror as well or better though?
Like Lynch and Von Trier 💪
And the audience loved it
@@ツツツツツツツツツツThat's not really his goal usually, but I would say if Spielberg wanted to do that, he probably could actually.
There's the classic face melting from Raiders of the Lost Ark, the heart pulling from Temple of Doom. War of the Worlds has some great creepy designs, particularly during the farmhouse sequence. The "blood" veins growing all over the place was great (also the b**thole suction thing). Minority Report edges toward some of that stuff too. Just off the top of my head.
I don't think it'd be too difficult for him to extrapolate that sort of stuff into R-rated territory. I wish he'd go back to making somewhat darker movies, he was good at it.
Just saw it. I felt like it ended too quickly. It established several storylines that are left abruptly unsettled. Good movie.
What I wouldn't give to see you, and Jay Bauman from redlettermedia talk about this movie
Can we make this work out?
Yes! Please!
Huge fan of those dudes. Hopefully one day I'll get a chance to thank them for making us laugh so hard all these years.
It's weird redlettermedia haven't made any Cronenberg videos at all
Agreed that this is my favorite movie sincr Cronenberg’s Crash. I was blown away, and honestly, I think this is a perfect film. I cannot think of a single critique.
I was amazed I saw a movie like this in a mall theater.
The real heads have been giving this great reviews… going to see it tonight!
that no true scotsman shit has to stop.
Thanks for the review. I appreciate your energy & your honesty.
Thanks, Mark! The flick knocked me flat.
I personally thought that the ending perfectly and unexpectedly wrapped up everything. I also thought that the sentence “the body is the reality” pretty much sums it all up. Its time to LISTEN, whether you like or not what you are coming to conclusion to lol... great review !
The film doesn't seem to be getting a UK or USA release. Apparently its got a limited release and is stuck in cannes
My thoughts on "Crimes" is more of a deep-dive into the metaphorical meanings within Cronenberg's on-the-nose, satirical (albeit horrific) and sometimes humorous view of modern-day technology (ex: eating chair, sleeping bed, autopsy bed), exhibitionism and voyeurism (ex: Saul, Caprice, Timlin, two women with drills), pop culture (ex: Klinik/Ear Man, others), celebrity status (Saul and Caprice), and ultimately the "plastic" society that we have become (ex: plastic eaters, non-plastic eaters, and those "evolving" into eating plastic). There are also the "policing agencies" (Cope, Wippet, Timlin) that try to regulate and/or terminate humanities permanent decline into a meaningless existence of seeking out ever-greater, "shocking" sensualities (ex: government's attempts to regulate social media and the moral decline of society).
The story clearly identifies "plastic" as the synthetic, cheap, easily consumed and digested content in social media (I think of "Barbie Girl" by Aqua, Madonna's "Material Girl"). Each of the main characters is participating in the so-called "art" in some way with a brief glimpse of a "normal person" who dies from eating "plastic".
The boy Brecken, from the outset, has already "evolved" into a full plastic eater. The mother, representing parents of young "social media artists" today, smothers him. This represents the consequences of parents allowing their children to consume and produce cheap, easy to consume exhibitionism eventually leading them to be killed by it (ex: kids being killed by their stalkers, older men being fans of young girls) as if the parent was the actual murderer.
Through the entire story, the main character Saul resists "evolving" into a plastic eater (ex: "tumor-like organs" that grow inside him = the cancers of society) using alien-looking tech just to eat and sleep (Ex: cpap, hospital surgical devices, feeding tubes, mechanised beds etc). Finally, after just giving in to "evolving" into a plastic eater does he find complete contentment and peace. However, never does he realize that his "painless" exhibitionism is the very cause of his morphing into a plastic eater; he's now desensitised to it all.
Along the way, we also meet two woman voyeurists who drill holes into people's heads representing the mindless, intellegence draining people of RUclips Channels and pornography; they create content that displays to everyone their so-called "inner beauty" but is secretely "horrific" for us to watch, and we can't turn our eyes away (ex: Adrienne, Ear Man, zipper device, etc.). In addition, Ear Man (Klinik) demonstrates how even the hippocritical Producer of his "Art" (ex: the music and entertainment industry) can be the very one who exploits the financial successes but joins the "popular" view of hating it (ex: anonymous likes, dislikes, etc.).
There are many more metaphorical references throughout the story and Cronenberg uses the genre as a warning of the future "horrors" of becoming "Plastic Eaters". Cronenberg asks us If we are disgusted by what we are watching and thus why are we not disgusted by what we "consume" in today's media? He suggests that if we are not disgusted by what we're watching, we're already a plastic eater. Indeed, ultimately society will become senseless, meaningless, painless, completely devoid of the characteristics that make us human if we don't stop eating plastic both metaphorically (ex: social media, empty entertainment, exhibitionism, voyeurism, pop culture, celebrity status, etc.) and physically (ex: oceans being full of plastic: fish eat it, we eat the fish). Neither has any nutritional value and can kill us metaphorically, physically, spiritually, and socially.
That's a pretty deep interpretation of the story elements but great allegorical references. Not sure if Cronenberg intented it to be so deep but it works. Overall I feel the payoff isn't there though.
Broooo!!! I can't wait! I'm watching it tonight. I just finished Scanners for the first time. Incredible!! I haven't wanted to deep dive on a filmmaker like this since properly discovered Richard Linklater with The Before trilogy and Waking Life!
The deep dive is well worth it. My personal favorites are Shivers, The Brood, Scanners, Videodrome, The Dead Zone, The Fly, Dead Ringers and Crash.
Did you end up liking it? I like Cronenberg and this film but I consider this among his least accessible films.
@@crimeforadime I really enjoyed it. I thought it was really entertaining and explored interesting ideas. There were a handful of scenes that maybe fell a little flat but overall I think it's one of my favorites. I liked the performances. The locations they filmed in were beautiful. I loved the Howard Shore soundtrack. I listen to it often. I think I liked it better then The Dead Zone but Crash, Videodrome and Scanners are my favorites.
I really enjoyed it. To me it was a great companion piece to eXistenZ, one of my favorites from Cronenberg.
I'm curious if you've rewatched this and how you feel about it now. I have yet to rewatch but I think it's in my top 3 favorites for 2022. Futuristic dystopian settings are a dime a dozen and they're all nearly identical. Crimes of the Future has got to be the most unique and among the most interesting dystopian settings.
Thanks for the awesome review James. Cronenberg back in full throttle mode as the king of body horror. Every time you mention insects my mind went to Naked Lunch. I think in his youth he went to medical school. The Dead Zone was a beautiful and sad Stephen King adaptation.
He did indeed spend some time in medical school which I think has paid dividends in his films ever since.
If you liked Dead Ringers..or his movies like that then this you will like. I heard so many bad reviews . It captivated me..Thats the Cronenberg i like
@@geekinwithJamesHancock TY, exactly and a great point. Your review got me thinking about Dead Ringers, of course based on the Novel Twins and I was reminded it was loosely based on real TWIN gynecologists😂😂The name of this movie coming out reminds me of a Philip K. Dick title ☮️🖖
@@davidcarney1827 I’m not a huge fan of the extreme body horror stuff, but I like mostly everything else about him.🙏
In general I loved the movie. The only thing I didn't understand was how it ended like it did. There were SO many things that weren't wrapped up. I was expecting it to be revealed that Vigo was undercover or for there to be a sting operation to get the plastic bar makers. So there was no point to the detective character except to have someone Vigo's character can talk to. The two women mechanics suddenly became killers and that was never explained and they were never caught. We never saw the inner beauty pageant - I was really looking forward to seeing other cool body evolutions that could be out there. Lastly, I was also expecting them to do another autopsy on the father and then another performance with Vigo's character when his organs develop more.
I think the female mechanics killed the leader of the plastic eaters because his movement would make the chairs that they sell (and everyone has) obsolete. The plastic eaters are in a war with the mechanics and the detective as well, who I saw as upholding the status quo. The detective/someone he works with somehow got to the body of the child and tattood his organs before the autopsy could be performed, effectively ruining their political statement which was supposed to kickstart the movement for the plastic eaters.
IMO the final scene was Viggo character transitioning to a new metamorphosis of human evolution with plastic. Then that transformation being captured on film. I guarantee all these humans who're are unable to not feel pain are all descendants of people who got their pain receptors taken away from external forces. The humans who can't feel pain currently were all naturally born with that ability from people who externally got their pain experience taken away. Similar to the boy who was naturally born being able to eat plastic from a father who externally turn his body to digest plastic.
First time on this channel. Not thelast Im sure. Loved your review of it, Great , deep, movie
Finally an intelligent review of this great movie, even if you didn't get the ending. Do you think the name of the main character, Saul, is significant like soul? like soul vs. body?
Happy to hear that Cronenberg is in good shape. Very Intrigued after watched the trailer, seeing connections with Dead Ringers, Naked Lunch, Crash and eXistenZ. Your review has sold me definetely the film. I need to watch it. Long live James, Long live the new flesh.
Saw it last night right before it squeezed out of my local theatres and I was surprised at how funny it was actually ! Especially the scenes with Kristen Stewart. You’re going from laughing at an awkward moment right to some stomach turning gore. My kind of film
I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. You're the only reviewer who liked it unfortunately. I'm a huge Cronenberg fan and I'm looking forward to seeing this one. 😊
right? Everyone else is hating on it. Why?
@@rupman27isback I just heard everyone thought the movie was too bizarre. Basically that's Cronenberg. 😊
@@shawnsatrinarodriguez4429 Also some people were saying the pay off wasn't great. The characters were whatever. But again.. it's Cronenberg. I feel that other people are expecting something else.
Finally got an opportunity to revel in the disturbing "mind-topia" of Cronenberg. As my career in health care is starting to wind down, I found the use of surgery as an artistic statement with the body as a canvas was all too real. Reminds me a lot of the photography of Brooklyn born artist, Joel-Peter Witkin. Also I couldn't help thinking about consuming plastic. As the world continues to dump waste, which animals consume...we in essence are eating plastic. Lastly, Léa Seydoux is one of the few actress' that doesn't get hung up about nudity. She knows how to commit to a scene. She certainly is a smart enough to realize the difference between naked and nude. Definitely on my top 5 films of the year. On the walk home, my mind was on this film quite a bit as society continues to change.
I had trouble hearing some of the dialogue, as well. I suspect maybe the theater did not have the best sound system. And, yes, Dead Ringers is the greatest!
First time finding your content. It felt to me like cronenberg was more interested in exploring a setting then telling a story. I wasn't really sure where the movie was going. The thread about the little boy didn't really build up to the story climax you'd expect. The ending also felt a little cheap because it was basically a late plot twist.
I watched this movie on Amazon last night and loved it. I’m surprised and delighted that Cronenberg has returned to body horror after all these years. I’m a fan of movies like Videodrome, Dead Ringers, Naked Lunch and Crash, but I’ve found some of his later work less appealing. This movie has a great script, art direction, score and performances. The dark humor is so good. As for the ending, I get what Cronenberg was saying but I wanted more. 9/10
As soon as the movie started i knew it was one of those movies you have to watch more than once. I love that.
Dead Ringers is a masterpiece! One of the best ever. Paul V is also one of my faves, Im in 40s too :) Have you seen Paul's earlier European work? He's great
Crimes of the Future hasn't come to my area yet, and I can't wait to see it. My Cronenberg favorites are Videodrome, Naked Lunch, Dead Ringers and Crash, so this one looks like it's right in my sweet spot. I remember him talking about this movie in the early 2000's under the name Painkillers, which was intended to star Ralph Fiennes. It was going to be his next project after Spider, but then it never got off the ground. I'm so glad it's finally been realized.
I thought the ending was a good closure for Saul. He's been going through a lot of discomfort for other people's benefit, and finally he can come to terms with what he is now. Hence that look of relief in the final shot.
he often dreams about being a giant praying mantis; he'll metamorphose into that
lol, that's amazing.
Dead ringers is my favourite Cronenberg movie. Just incredible.
For me as well. Peak Cronenberg.
75-85 is an interesting life phase. You might be on death’s door, or you might have 10-15 good years left. The variance in health is staggering.
Glad someone else enjoyed it!! I enjoyed the hell out of this film😆. The designs were so awesome that they remind me of the new game scorn that's coming out this year and the environment was dark and felt very tense!! David Cronenberg is a genius with his horror movies. I hope he does more films like this cause this film was just WoW😁😊🤯🤯 Critics r so dumb these days they don't know any good movies when they see them anymore that I just don't listen to them😒. Critics have always been mean when it came to horror movies they find no entertainment in them😒
As always thanks sir. 45 that was 20 years ago. Saw Shivers in Montreal and Rabid at a drive-in somewhere in southern Ontario( too high at the time) then saw The Brood with my then pregnant 1st wife. Have been a fan of everything he has done but must say Crash is my favorite. The scene with Roseanne getting into the car at the dealership was burnt into my brain. Anyway can not wait to see this film. Thanks again kid keep of the great work.
Crimes of the Future also gave me some vibes of early Clive Barker works. I think the Cenobites in particular would love this world where people mutilate themselves to have sex.
I haven't seen it yet but honestly alot of the reviews have made me pretty hesitant on going to the only theater anywhere near me to see it (it's not very close unfortunately) but your review may have convinced me to just go see it. I usually don't take reviews as a way to convince me to see something but because the only theater that has it in my state is pretty far from me than the other theaters I just didn't want to spend the gas money and such and be very disappointed if it was not good.
It’s trash I promise you
@@thetrashcanman7537 people I rtrust with their movie opinions have liked it so ima see it
I find that Cronenberg's work is a simple allegory for that which resides in all of humanity, an interpretation of an undeniable truth. The monster you see is not the monster you know. If you don't follow what I'm saying then consider this. Time is a saviour and destroyer simultaneously. It is your relative perception that colors it.
What a fantastic review, I'm kinda old and have watched Cronenberg movies pretty much all my life... I agree, I was a cumulation of all he has done so far. I don't consider it a masterpiece at all, but it was damn nice to see an classic throw-back style horror movie from him.
Never seen a cronenberg movie before. Saw a lot of reviews where people said that this one is dull, boring and slow. And some said it was too gross to even watch...
So I was pleasantly surprised when the movie was really really good. Sci-fi mixed with drama is a difficult thing, but this movie nailed it
I am a little afraid to see this. And yet I must. This sounds like it will make Videodrome seem tame. So many of his themes are mixing here, from The Brood ,to Deadringer's, to Crash ,and Videodrome. Great Review!
Loved this review. I think this Cronenberg movie is one where you get out of it what you bring to it.
I'll try to keep this as spoiler-free as possible.
For me, Viggo's story arc felt like an analogue for coming out of the closet. His surgeries-as-performance-art could represent performative heterosexuality as he struggles to deny who he is, alongside his partner. As the movie progresses, he comes to terms with who he is and what he needs to do to survive (which would explain the climax). The "New Vice" folks are trying to enforce what they believe is the social order & the Nat'l Organ Registry office could almost be seen as people who register those that don't fit that social order.
I could go into more details but that would potentially mean spoilers. But yeah, that's one interpretation of it that made sense to me.
Love Cronenberg's horror, although personally i kinda wished he would take it even further especially in this day and age. To me Videodrome still is one of the best movies of all time and it was revolutionary in its time, he was the first to have this merging of technology and media into a new kind of flesh to house our hedonistic souls.
Well this time is more like changing our bodies for the sake of creating art in a society that fetishizes surgery? Look, if you want it to make sense, when watching the movie whenever they say growth or tumor or new organ or gland, you replace it with the word idea (artistic idea). That's how i got the notion that maybe their lack of pain perception reflects how desensitized we are about to become (Viggo feels pain because he is the tortured artist).
The thing is i seen so many iterations of Cronenberg's work, so many movies that drew inspiration from it i wished this movie would be more, you know, extreme (or maybe i'm just too damn desensitized).I expected Cronenberg to take his theme of merging or changing the human form to new heights (instead of turning it into a recycle bin...really) I'm not saying i did not like the movie, the movie was great and he made all the cast look great, i even loved Kristen Stewart, i think she did an awesome job. I am a big fan of his use of practical effects but i can't say they where exceedingly gory (not to me anyway). My gripe was the ending, i thought it was too abrupt and as i said before it was a bit disappointing to me, although satisfyingly grotesque. That being said, it is a great comback from a director that influenced horror as we know it, and i hope he makes more movies.
I wonder why some reviewers aren't really liking this movie and you're the only one who I heard said this is his best work in 25 years? What were they all watching? lol
Because there haven’t been too many film in the last several years that allows the audience to think and have a visceral experience. I found it to be the most fascinating films I’ve seen since Enemy.
I just watched this for the second time and liked it much more this time around. I think it could have used a bit better pacing, but I really liked it.
Really looking forward to this. It's odd I don't find any of Cronenberg's films horrific at all. The low-fi effects work that he employs always pulls me out and at times is absolutely laughable. In his early work this is less of a problem but in films like Naked Lunch for eg. this becomes a problem that undermines the conceptual provocation and audacity that he always brings. Crash is probably his most successful film because it doesn't need sponge and latex muppetry.
Big cronenberg fan.. and art house fan as well.. I was so disappointed with this film. For me… It felt empty and incomplete.. but glad that you loved it.
Looking forward to it but I will definitely have to be in the right mood.
aw shit. not again... going to have to add list to the list (as if it wasn't already at the top of my list)
Well worth hunting down. Cronenberg is back in fine form.
This movie was so fucking amazing I loved it soooo much
First 10 seconds and I can already tell how uncomfortable you sounded. Sweet! Body Horror is back baby!
lol, the movie wrecked me
Art is destruction of self. That’s how I interpret it.
Love this movie. One of my favorites
Cronenberg's diehard fans are going to be very happy.
just watched this movie.. it's so weird but it kept me engaged all through out.. so yeah..
Just saw it. It's not as horrific and brutal as some reviews make it to be. Surgery is the new sex in this world once you get that you really get the whole point of this film. It drags at times but it keeps you interested at least
I thought that scene with the kid in the first five minutes was one of the most brutal scenes I’ve seen in a movie.
I just saw Crimes of the Future (2022). I'm a big Cronenberg fan. Throughout Cronenberg's filmography, you will see these intense sexual relationships between the main characters. But the sexual aspect of the relationship is always based in deviant ground.
So with every film you taste a bit of strange erotic fruit from the Cronenberg basket. Some of the fruits you may enjoy and some you may not. But it's always an experience.
Personally, I think this is the key to Cronenberg's auteurship and the best way to enjoy his films.
I thought CotF was very erotic in a strangely Romantic way. The relationship between Tenser and Caprice reminded me of the one between Max and Nicki in Videodrome (1983). Two kindred spirits of the flesh captured in a technological environment, and trying to break out. Btw, Timlin apparently enjoyed the old way, and I was ready to give it to her... ;)
On the political side. This film made me realise that Cronenberg would have been well suited for a X-men film. He especially would have been a shoe in for the "God Loves, Man Kills" story, which was the basis for X-Men 2 (Singer, 2003). Maybe an eight hour series for Disney could do the trick...
Always enjoy your content, James!
This is Top Gun Maverick for me.
Cronenberg's version of the mile high club would be something special.
I need a film from cronenberg with Kristen and Rob 🗣🗣🗣
Late to the party
Favorite Cronenberg Films for Me
Rabid
Scanners
Dead Zone
My Honest opinion this film made my Wife Angry she walked away
Needless to say she despised it
For me it was extremely rough the audience we seen it with was Laughing at it and walking out
We were at the Alamo Draft House and even them cinephiles were upset
I gave her my Card and had her go to Starbucks
I being a kind of a masochist hung in until it ended
Long live the new flesh!! I only appear on tv while being on tv.
In the era of RUclips, we've all become Professor Brian Oblivion.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock I can't even count the number of times I've watched that movie altered and un altered.
I could see this film being criticized for being heavy handed and I suppose that's fair.
Otherwise? I think it's great.
Single malt!!
My booze of choice
I really tried to like this movie. It was unique for sure, but really, REALLY bad in my opinion.
is this a movie I should watch with my mom? lol
I think Cronenberg should do a really fucked up version of Nightbreed.
90% of the movie is just conversation between 2 people. the rest is, people cutting with scalpel. what a crap.
Maximum hype
I hope I didn't overhype the flick. I'm anticipating a wide range of reactions.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock not at all sir! With or without you I was gonna be so, but I trust you
@@geekinwithJamesHancock just got out of the theater and your review absolutely nailed it James!
Some neat ideas but he didn’t do anything with them in any sort of meaningful way. Almost every storyline went unresolved. Was a little too pretentious in the writing.
I loved it!
The acting was great and I was very taken by Stewart's performance in particular. Great general premise and atmosphere a well. That said, I didn't care for the 8 yr old understanding of anatomy and functional design throughout (completely laughable - like MST3K material), the new take on ATM, or child pee-pee. I also wouldn't call surgery the new sex (in this context) as much as the new blue hair and nose rings. If woke dystopia was the target, nailed it! Otherwise it's nice to see an 80 yr old still in touch with his inner tween. He has produced far better work than this.
Anyone supporting this film is a Cronenberg hog sniffer!!!! This film was so bad in every aspect of filmmaking and cronenberg should be a bit embarrassed with this effort!!!
Jesus man pick a topic and stick to it, 22 minutes of being all over the place
I got the overwhelming feeling while watching it today that it was his absolute worst film, because it was just a lazy collage of fan service moments and rehashed biomechanical cliches from Cronenberg's earlier, much better films. It's literally just auto-pastiche.
Preach
I felt the same
It was basically a Cronenberg K-tel hits without any substance
mor of the worst of his creastions? the acting is pathetic story pathetric, its all just a pile of garbage !
This movie sukkeddd
