"The car crash is a fertilizing rather than a destructive event."Vaughan
An infamous 1973 novel by J.G. Ballard,
Crash became the basis for a just as infamous 1996 film by
David Cronenberg. It tells the tale of one James Ballard, a film producer and his wife Catherine. One day, he gets into a fatal car accident. He then meets the survivor of the other car, Helen, and discovers an underground subculture devoted to staging car crashes as a sexual fetish. It gets weirder from there. The film stars
James Spader,
Holly Hunter,
Elias Koteas, Deborah Kara Unger, and
Rosanna Arquette.
In no ways, shape or form to be mistaken for the
2005 Oscar winner.
