If only this story were true to life. If your average girl really was turned on when she was in a car accident and I would be purposely sideswiping all the most attractive girls on the interstate. But most of the time after you hit someone's car your chances are nil. Thats what makes this movie interesting. Its odd factor. There are some really disturbing shots in this film and some awkward love scenes, but like a good car accident you won't be able to take your eyes off of it. The characters are detached and zombie like while the fetishize about the strangest of things. Lots of allusions and reenactments of famous car accidents, Cronenberg did his homework. The characters in this movie are bizarre to the extreme. Rosalina Arquette shows that handicapped women can still be sexy. Holly Hunter is the woman in the business suit gone wrong, and Debra Kara Unger is detached and catatonic to the point of creepiness. Wonderful performances all around especially by Spader and and Koteas as well, as the portray characters hypnotized by obsession very well. If you want to see a disturbing yet always interesting film, in Cronenberg-esquire perversity, check this one out!
