David Cronenberg

In CRASH, adapted from J.G. Ballard's cataclysmic novel, James Spader plays a man drawn into a bizarre underworld when a near fatal crash leads him and his wife, played by Deborah Unger, to explore the connections between danger, sex, and death. Oscar-winner Holly Hunter and Rosanna Arquette portray car accident survivors who are drawn into the disembodied group by renegade scientist, Elias Koteas . Director Cronenberg (Naked Lunch, Dead Ringers, The Fly) says that Crash is about obsessive need for humans -- who have become disconnected from each other through technology -- to reinvent sexuality and love, using cars as a metaphor.
