so if you're into video essays or not,,, this would be a good one. mr cronenberg was wild for this movie but if you watch this essay you should watch the movie first. so basically i'm suggesting two things if u havent seen the movie? i really am obsessed with this movie.
over the last few months, some loved ones and i watched all of david cronenberg’s filmography in order. it was such a gratifying experience and so fun to watch a director try new things and grow and change. especially someone with such strong themes! a gorgeous, freaky, gooey, enriching endeavor. still from Crash (1996)
an unabashed attack on industrialization and our fetishization of “progress”… just the pinnacle of art that fucks with my head in the best way possible
seriously, imagine the worst quality thing you can create in your medium of choice. Lean into the shit. Make it awful. Trust and believe you will learn more about yourself and maybe even stumble upon something beautiful.
