Body Horror Saturday

Lørdag 26. Oktober feirer Cinema Neuf kroppens vidunderlighet med tre forskjellige body-horror filmer!

17:00 – Titane (2021)

19:00 – Crash (1996)

Fasten your seatbelt: Cinema Neuf presents David Cronenberg’s polarising Crash on 35mm!
Film producer James (James Spader) and his wife Catherine (Deborah Kara Unger) are in an open marriage, but still struggle to find sexual satisfaction. However, when James is involved in a car crash, it offers him entry into a community of people who are sexually aroused by such accidents. Fascinated, James and Catherine get involved with this community and their unusual search for pleasure, lead by the charismatic, yet unpredictable Vaughn (Elias Koteas).
Crash is based on the J. G. Ballard novel of the same name and caused quite the commotion upon its initial release at the 1996 Cannes film festival. Nonetheless, it was given a special Jury award, a fact that Cronenberg claims jury president Francis Ford Coppola was less than enthused about. The film proved controversial in Norway as well, and the regional head of cinema in Oslo, Ingeborg Moræus Hanssen, refused to have it screened in the city. Today Crash is often considered to be one of Croneberg’s finest works, and in 2022 it got its official Oslo premiere.

21:00 – Tetsuo : The Iron Man (1989)

Tetsuo er en intens audiovisuell opplevelse der metall både fyller lerretet og soundtracket. Etter å ha påkjørt en metallfetisjist, besatt av å omgjøre sin egen kropp til metall, bestemmer en mann og kvinne seg for å hjemme liket. Men snart oppdager mannen at hans egen kropp holder på å gjøres om til metall i en verden som har sluttet å bry seg om hengsler for lenge siden.

Filmen er som Eraserheads enda mer forskrudde halvbror, med et industrielt lyddesign og forstyrrende stop-motion. På tross av, eller kanskje nettopp på grunn av filmens minimale budsjett, ser filmen svært imponerende ut med sine effekter tatt fra Cronenberg-land. Seksualisert vold, frenetisk klipping og klaustrofobiske omgivelser bidrar til å skape en surrealistisk body-horror med cyber-punkete tendenser.

English:

After nearly killing a man obsessed with inserting metal into his body, a man discovers that he himself is turning into metal in this batshit body-horror nightmare.
