Crimes of the Future at HOME
Tom Grieve, Cinema Editor
As the human species adapts to a synthetic environment, the body undergoes new transformations and mutations. Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen), a celebrity performance artist, publicly showcases the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances staged with his partner, Caprice (Léa Seydoux). Timlin (Kristin Stewaet), an investigator from the National Organ Registry, obsessively tracks their movements, and eventually stumbles upon a mysterious group. Their mission – to use Saul’s notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution.
The brand new film from cult Canadian auteur David Cronenberg (Videodrome, Scanners) has been shocking audiences since Cannes and is probably our most anticipated film of the year.
