Crash (1996)


After getting into a serious car crash, a TV director discovers an underground sub-culture of  victims who use accidents and the raw sexual energy they produce to try to rejuvenate his love life with his wife.
David Cronenberg delves into another obscure frame of mind for this controversial drama. Although based on a novel by J.G. Ballard, there are very few directors who would dare to make this film or even be successful in receiving financing for such an alternative pitch. Even more peculiarly than any of the movie's subject matter however, is that it was only banned from cinema's in the heart of many main British cities but perfectly acceptable else where.
