Historia
Crash (1996), directed by David Cronenberg, revolves around a car crash victim named James Ballard who finds himself inexplicably aroused by car accidents and their aftermath. This newfound fetish leads him to an underground subculture of individuals similarly obsessed with car crashes, pain, and the erotics of destruction. Ballard becomes involved with this group, which includes a woman named Catherine, her husband Dr. Helen Remington, and a mysterious figure known only as Vaughan. They engage in dangerous reenactments of famous crash scenes, exploring their dark desires and sexual obsessions through these rituals. As Ballard delves deeper into this world, his relationships become increasingly complex and perilous, ultimately leading to a shocking climax that blurs the lines between pleasure, pain, and death.
Resumen
Crash (1996) is an adaptation of J.G. Ballard's controversial novel of the same name, directed by David Cronenberg. The film is a disturbing exploration of human sexuality, fetishism, and obsession, focusing on the eroticized fascination with car crashes and their aftermath. Set against the backdrop of late 20th-century societal numbness and disconnection, Crash challenges societal norms and boundaries, delving into the psyches of its characters to expose the darkest recesses of their desires. The film is a confrontational examination of sex, death, and the anesthetizing effects of modern life, leaving audiences unsettled yet compelled by its transgressive content.
