Crash (R-Rated; 1996)


Location: Home
Seen Before: No
Rating: 2.5

It's really my fault. I know it's my fault that I gave David Cronenberg's Crash such a low rating. You know why? Because I don't "get it." It's me that's missing something, not David or the movie. It's me, not you, David.

Yep, this film just isn't working for me. I want to love it, but it's not happening. Perhaps the NC-17 version works better, but I imagine it'd have to be quite different for that to be the case.

Go and read the book. You don't need to but it's a terrific book and if you feel you 'missed' something from the movie, you may 'get' it in the book. Just a suggestion. I think it's a terrific movie that playfully looks at mass culture's role in sexual fetishes... the dark side of course.
