I feel unclean, I feel as if I need to lay on the largest bar of soap in the world because I'm so fascinated by the world in 2022's Crimes Of The Future. Which is weird because while this is Cronenberg's first cinematic outing to hearken back to his 'body horror' roots (a genre of which he himself apparently rejects), the graphics are actually quite mild conpared to what you'd expect from that. It's also just a minor aspect in the larger functions of the film, that almost comes off like an adaptation of an incredibly dense book. The ambiance, the themes and the look of it all just cerebrally tickles me and I'm just thinking of the cast of characters we could use to deepen the lore of Crimes Of The Future.
