David Cronenberg's enduring masterpiece Crash (1996) comes to our basement screen for the finale of our James Spader season, from its uncut edition on VHS.
Spader stars as a writer drawn into an underground society of fetishists after surviving a car crash that changes his perspective on the world around him, and his own body in a transgressive classic that takes impact play to the next level.
Come for a gorgeous Howard Shore score and all-timer performances by the likes of Elias Koteas and Deborah Kara Unger, stay for a film that only increases in relevance as our society grows further atomised, and the need for non-traditional inroads toward intimacy ever more pressing.
Find us downstairs at Dalston Superstore, for one of the greatest films of all-time, in a rare VHS screening.
The car crash is a fertilizing rather than a destructive event.
Unfortunately subtitles will not be available due to the format.
Seating is a mixture of benches, backed chairs, bar stools, and floor space, and is first come, first served.
