Review of Crash

Crash (1996)
7/10
A dark psychological film which is not for everyone.
13 November 2022
Crash is a psychological drama film directed by David Cronenberg. The film stars James Spader, Deborah Kara Unger, Elias Koteas, Holly Hunter and Rosanna Arquette.

After getting into a serious car accident, a TV director discovers an underground sub-culture of scarred, omnisexual car-crash victims who use car accidents and the raw sexual energy they produce to try to rejuvenate his sex life with his wife.

One of the reviews said that this film is not for everyone and i would completely agree with the review as this film is strictly and definitely not for everyone as it's very difficult to understand the crux of the film.

The story which is bases on a novel is very complex and complicated and so as the screenplay. The film is dark, psychologically complex and may be disturbing for some of the viewers. The character introduction is also very unique as it goes with the flow of the film and director hadn't put much efforts for this.

Screenplay of the film is very slow and this could become the reason for distraction for few of the viewers. Acting in the film is good and impressive.

Climax of the film is also complex but is effective. This film is surely not for everyone.
