Technology and sexuality meet in a head-on collision in Crash - director David Cronenberg's controversial adaptation of writer J.G. Ballard's hugely transgressive 1973 novel starring James Spader and Holly Hunter.
Spader stars as James Ballard, an advertising executive whose deviant sexual desires are awakened by a near fatal automobile accident with Dr Helen Remington (Hunter). Soon the pair, alongside Ballard's wife Catherine (Deborah Kara Unger), are drawn into an underground world of car crash fetishism presided over by renegade scientist Vaughan (Elias Koteas). Danger, sex and death become entwined as eroticism and technology join together in a disturbing, deadly union.
Awarded the Special Jury Prize at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival for originality, daring and audacity, Crash remains an incredibly subversive and confrontational piece of cinema - Cronenberg himself describes it as "a dangerous film" - now newly refurbished in a stunning 4K restoration.

Phenomenal Classic Movie
This is a phenomenal classic from David Cronenberg, The picture quality is actually stunning the 4k really helps bring this movie to life, It’s definitely a upgrade from normal dvd and Blu Ray too, The sound is fantastic too, especially if your using surround sound, The version I got is the box set that comes with the 4k dvd, a poster, comes with some cards, also a really nice booklet too, Arrows Video have done a great job on this one, If your into classic movies then I would definitely recommend this one, you won’t be disappointed!
