Crimes of the Future

About This Movie

Crimes of the Future feels like a dive into a surrealist nightmare, where body horror meets existential dread in a world that's all too plausible. The performances, especially from the lead, are raw and unnerving, capturing the essence of transformation both physically and psychologically. As we follow the performance artist and his partner, the atmosphere thickens with tension and a sense of foreboding. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the grotesque practical effects to linger in the mind long after the viewing. Themes of identity, surveillance, and the commodification of the body thread throughout, making it a compelling exploration of art's boundaries. There's something unsettling yet fascinating about the way it all unfolds, revealing the hidden grotesque lurking beneath our everyday lives.
