Crimes of the Future - David Cronenberg - 2022

★★★★ - One of the great food movies of all time. JK. People eat either plastic or a mixture of what looks like guacamole, nacho cheese, and creamed corn. Yum!

Gist of this science fiction body horror film by David Cronenberg is that a performance artist couple performs surgery for audiences. Evolution apparently accelerates for people in the future and mutations come in the form of growths. 

Stars Viggo Mortensen and Léa Seydoux as the artists. Kristen Stewart is in the flick as well. She takes her character in some weird/distracting directions. Other than her, I was digging it up until the last 20 minutes and then it gets strange even by his standards.
Visually it was pretty cool. I’d say it is worth a watch if you are into movies like The Brood with some extreme body stuff thrown in.
