The Disturbing perfection of 'crash' (1996)

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.

watching an entire filmography in chronological order

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)

the internet didnt kill counterculture--you just wont find it online

read from 2021 abt modern counterculture, rejecting tech overlords, and the dark forests of the internet
"To be truly countercultural today, in a time of tech hegemony, one has to, above all, betray the platform, which may come in the form of betraying or divesting from your public online self.”

all good sex is body horror by becca rothfield

well-written article analyzing cronenburg's films and contrasting them with today's sexual politics and lack of eroticism.
passage i enjoyed: In fact, we are not impermeable packages of preformed desires, importing our likes and dislikes around with us from one encounter to the next like papers in a briefcase. An erotic craving is inextricable from the ferment that foams up when oneself is sluiced into another. Not only is it impossible for us to know whether an encounter will be deflating or transformative but we cannot know what sort of metamorphosis will ensue if the sex is as jarring as we can only hope it will be.
