Crash

Summary: sex and crashes as a metaphor?
Review: David Cronenberg has made much better films than this one, Scanners, Naked Lunch, and Dead Ringers being fine examples. Perhaps the symbolism/metaphor went over my head, but if their even was a valid intellectual point the abundance of sex probably overwhelmed it. The film is interesting only for it's visual qualities. The gray,black, and dark blue color scheme. Also the car crashes themselves are thrilling. Other than this however the film is a waste of rare talent:Arquette, Cronenberg, Hunter, etc......

Summary: put it in a blender and hit liquify
Review: Obvious attempt to grab some of that multi-million dollar porn industry profit. A marginally dirty movie made with a look-I'm-so-smart styling in effort to hook both the raincoat crowd and the latte lappers in one swoop. Earns placement on my personal ten all time worst. Good God, Hollywood! Twenty brilliant indy efforts could have been financed from the investments spent on this hogwash. Where am you brain at????

Summary: A porn movie
Review: A porn movie disguised as a kind of a art form. Very bad. Fortunately this movies is the exception to the rule: cronenberg is a great director. I hope "crash" was just the result of bad mood....

Summary: Weird.
Review: This is one of the strangest movies you will ever see. There are some interesting parts, and I certainly wouldn't say it's not worth seeing once. I would, however, caution people who don't have the stomach for this sort of thing to stay away. Holly Hunter is good in her supporting role

Rating:
Summary: Very Slow
Review: Some think this movie is great, others think it's sick. Personally I think it was just a boring movie. The premise sounds fascinating, fetishising car crashes, but the execution is poor. Slow and boring is the only thing that I can say about it. I like Cronenberg a lot, but this was definitely one of his subpar efforts.

Summary: I could easily see why Holly Hunter took this part.
Review: Holly Hunter is a versitile actress who isn't afraid of doing daring projects. She should be commended for her riveting and haunting performance.

Rating:
Summary: Good
Review: Crash directed by David Cronenberg is a strange film, based from the 1973 novel by J.G. Ballard. This explicit film is not for all tastes. This film deals with a shadowy cult of people who are turned on by vehicular carnage. This film has an interesting look to it. Try to see the uncut version. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER REVIEWS.

Summary: Sick
Review: That's all I can say, couldn't stomach watching all of it. Can't believe Holly Hunter would be in such a movie, I guess she's as sick as the rest of 'em out there.

Summary: Exploring the psychiatry of perversion
Review: This is a slighty better than average exploration into why perversions are compelling. This film is effective. In order to be effective it has to do two things: first, it must discomfort us, and that it surely does, and second, it must make us excited by the very discomfort we feel. Cronenberg seems to enjoy a lifes work of this and here, he is reasonably successful. Car crashes are disasters we are all conditioned to be shamefully thrilled to see. Ballard's touch of making them a field for erotic exploration only heightens this. Cronenberg had the good sense to realize he could make us scared of ourselves by giving us this to watch. Where he failed was in the execution. The film is well cast but the characters need more enrgy. The film could also use better sound.

It's worth seeing, but it is not a masterpiece.
