Samuel LoveAfter a disappointing DVD-only release at the beginning of the year, those titans of physical media at Second Sight Films have answered the prayers of Cronenberg worshippers everywhere – with a typically lavish 4K UHD release of Crimes of the Future, the body-horror maestro’s latest banger. Put together with the usual passion and love for not just the film but for physical media as an artform, this is a beautiful release of a haunting film that always deserved so much more than just DVD.
We took a closer look at another of many diamonds in Second Sight’s ever-growing crown.
CRIMES OF THE FUTURE
In the near future, a couple of performance artists push the boundaries of taste and decency with daring shows of mutilation and organ mutation. All the while a shadowy government agency is closing in on a terrorist group that are pushing for the next evolution in the human experience.
