Cult Vault Retro Screening: CRASH (1996) Open the Cult Vault as retrospective gems return to Palace with a weekly film series highlighting classic, cult, and boundary-pushing cinema!
Presented via a curated program, prepare to see all the most spectacular and timeless films spanning genres from classic dramas, comedies, thrillers, beloved anime, horrors & more every week (dates differ across states).
Returning to cinemas 30 years on from its release, writer-director David Cronenberg’s (The Fly) CRASH, an erotic-thriller that follows a car crash victim that suddenly finds himself turned on by car accidents and becomes involved with an underground sub-culture of like-minded souls.
Most motorists will slow down to stare at the scene of a collision; they may feel their pulses quickening and become aware of the fragility of their own bodies. The characters of CRASH carry this awareness a step further, cherishing and nurturing it. For them, a car collision is a sexual turn-on, and a jolting life force they come to crave.
Featuring an all-star cast, including three-time Emmy winner James Spader, Academy Award winner Holly Hunter and Deborah Kara Unger, CRASH is about the strange lure of the auto collision, provoking as it does the human fascination with death and the tendency to eroticize danger.
