Crimes of the Future

A futuristically retro slice of body horror that left me speechless. ” The Ringer

Cronenberg is back and with a killer cast! A striking reminder that the great director can still take us on a twisted decent into madness. As the human species adapts to a synthetic environment, the body undergoes new transformations and mutations.

With his partner Caprice (Léa Seydoux), Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen), celebrity performance artist, publicly showcases the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances. Timlin (Kristen Stewart), an investigator from the National Organ Registry, obsessively tracks their movements, which is when a mysterious group is revealed… Their mission – to use Saul’s notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution.
