On the other side of the screen, you might find yourself combatting akin urges, desiring to pop inside the picture and if nothing else, feel your way through legendary production designer (and decades-long Cronenberg collaborator) Carol Spier’s blood-curdling imagination. From a hovering, cocoon-like bed with buggy tentacles connected Saul to clanking metals of machines, her creations not only synch up with all-things-Cronenbergian, but wink to the designs of “ Alien.”

These are five of the many, many films that Canadian auteur David Cronenberg has unleashed upon the world over his 50+ years directing films. While I don’t love every Cronenberg film I’ve seen, it’s impossible to deny the craftsmanship and dedication to providing audiences with something unlike what anybody else is putting out. With the exception of a modern filmmaker like Denis Villeneuve, I’d argue that Cronenberg is the most prolific Canadian filmmaker of our times. low budget Cronenberg effort, the 1970 version of Crimes of the Future shares almost nothing in common with the 2022 film.

All these meaty graphic and psychological signifiers are also the blood and guts of “Crimes of the Future,” albeit a bit predictably sometimes. With imagery purposely and all-too-obviously reminiscent of some of the visuals that existed in the master’s previous work, one can’t unsee a certain banality on occasion or shake a fan-service-y inkling. Still, it’s irresistible to see Cronenberg pivot to his classic mode to dissect weighty anxieties around mortality and perhaps even humankind’s inevitable annihilation. If one feels no pain, if there is no cautionary system inherent to our bodies that warns us about our terminal limits, if unknown organs (or tumors) routinely sprout inside of our torsos, would we have a fighting chance to survive in the long run?
