Crash
James Spader, Holly Hunter and Rosanna Arquette are a motley assortment of car crash survivors seeking more and more perverse thrills to communicate, in an emotionally cold world. David Cronenberg has faithfully adapted the 1973 novel by J.G. Ballard into this not-for-all-tastes minor masterpiece. Banned in the City of Westminster AKA London's 'square mile', though, bizarrely, available in every other part of England.
