I watch a lot of movies in either the last couple of hours of the day, or on the first handful. Tonight, I started one late and finished it early.
(20) Crash (1996): This is the David Cronenberg movie, based on a 1973 J.G. Ballard novel of the same name. A different movie to be sure, and certainly not for everyone, it follows a group of car crash victims as they act out their sexual fantasies, or gain their sexual energy, in crashed cars. They also watch a lot of car crashes on video as a sort of pornography. Probably not like any movie you've ever seen. Starring James Spader in a reliably understated role, Holly Hunter, Deborah Unger, Rosanna Arquette, and a very creepy Elias Koteas.
In the end this movie is about addition, any addiction, and how hollow and empty and selfish and lonely addiction really is, and to what lengths people go to just to get one more fix. A decent enough move even though its void of any redeeming qualities.
