Plot – Spoilers:
James Ballard is in the movie business as well as an open and sexually jaded marriage with wife Catherine. An orgasm appears to have gotten elusive to both and they drift through their days titillating each other with tales of their extra marital indiscretions.
One night, James crashes his car killing the driver of an oncoming car whose co-passenger, Helen survives. James notices certain changes in his outlook post the accident and when Helen encourages him into sexual acts in cars, he begins to develop a paraphilia (symphorophilia) for accidents and car wrecks. This kink is fueled by a cult-like character Vaughan who has some strange ideas that push all known boundaries of sexual experimentation. Catherine becomes a part of their fetish as things begin to escalate.
GREAT FUCKING MOVIE
Disgusting . I can’t believe that this movie is recommended for school children to learn about diversity! Don’t get me wrong, diversity and accepting all the faggots and freaks is super important and all, but this is too far I tell ya!
Hang on a minute..Nimrod ?is suggesting children are reading / watching Crash by the great JG Ballard in the classroom as a way of learning about diversity?WHY couldn’t I have gone to a school like that in the 70′ s ..sounds fucking great!!
I actually got a good thwacking with a wooden ruler across my knuckles when I was 10 yrs for reading Iain McKewen ‘ First Love last rights ‘ & ‘ Inbetween the Sheets’ by the teacher and was called a ‘ subversive’.. Well 43 yrs later she got that bit right?
Just to say a huge thank you to whoever chooses/ correlates the films for this site.I only discovered you yesterday when looking for that GG Allin documentary ,which was an eye opener .lol But you have some incredible stuff here,I’ m definitely here for European/ world cinema and classic Cronenberg etc as opposed to the full out guts and gore some of the weirdos living in their mum’s s basement aged 35 seen to enjoy..but you have a nice taste in art house cinema too…We are back in full lockdown where I.live in northern England & this site is a life saved from the boredom of lockdown alone ! Thank you xx
Great, I really miss this movie, and I don’t know how many years passed since the last time that I watched it. I love this movie when I was an adolescent and I love it now. There isn’t just one form to love. But I strongly believe that paraphilias are ok if all participants agree with what could happen.
O my god I almost forgot about is movie. Thanks for the upload
David cronenberg is genius, watch Eastern promises and history of violence. Its all get under you skin.
what da hel bro
didn’t much care for this one, not effedup enough for me. waste of good talent. had to skip thru it, maybe I missed the good parts, I don’t know… hard to believe James Spader once looked like that . THANKS ANYWAY EFFEDUP, you can’t win em all, but you definitely make my day with a lot of em.
one hour and thirty six minutes of pure post nut clarity
Maaaan the music is so fucking good, also the doc was so hot
David Cronenberg has made a number of films in the 70s and 80s, including ”Scanners”, ”Shivers” and ”Rabid” among many others which I have seen over the years. Medical horror films were his forte and he didnt shy away from controversial subjects with lots of gore and sex. My favorite subjects, btw. ”Crash” was ok but it didnt grab me like his earliest movies. I think he went a bit soft as he got older. Still worth a watch tho.
Crash was writian by J G Ballard . His first autobiographical boo kwas made into the film Empire of the sun .His second autobigraphical book The Kindness of Woman is one of my favourite books .
The flyyyyy pls
I didn’t like the ending . . . She should have died in that crash and then he has sex with her body in the grass beside the road. Other than that it was OK.
