Technology and sexuality meet in a head-on collision in Crash   director David Cronenberg s
controversial adaptation of writer J.G. Ballard s hugely transgressive 1973 novel starring James
Spader and Holly Hunter.

Spader stars as James Ballard, a film producer whose deviant sexual desires are awakened by a near
fatal automobile accident with Dr Helen Remington (Hunter). Soon the pair, alongside Ballard s wife
Catherine (Deborah Kara Unger), are drawn into an underground world of car crash fetishism presided
over by renegade scientist Vaughan (Elias Koteas). Danger, sex and death become entwined as
eroticism and technology join together in a disturbing, deadly union.

Awarded the Special Jury Prize at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival for originality, daring and
audacity, Crash remains an incredibly subversive and confrontational piece of cinema   Cronenberg
himself describes it as  a dangerous film    now newly refurbished in a stunning 4K restoration.
