With his partner Caprice (Léa Seydoux), Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen), a celebrated performance artist, publicly displays the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances. Timlin (Kristen Stewart), a researcher for the National Organ Registry, obsessively follows his movements, and that’s when a mysterious group is revealed… Their mission: use Saul’s notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution. “.
About Crimes of the Future, Cronenberg, director and screenwriter of the filmsays to have, “unfinished business with the future,” and apparently in marketing, it leans towards the body-horror seen in feature films by the filmmaker mentioned above, such as The Fly, y The Brood, among others.
The filmmaker adds: “Crimes of the Future is a meditation on human evolution… the ways we’ve had to take control of the process because we’ve created such powerful environments that didn’t exist before.. [Es] an evolution of things I’ve done before. Fans will see key references to other scenes and moments from my other movies. That is a continuity of my understanding of technology connected to the human body. Technology is always an extension of the human body, even when it appears to be very mechanical and non-human.”.
