Crash (Criterion Collection) - BLU-RAY

After getting into a serious car accident, a TV director discovers an underground sub-culture of scarred, omnisexual car-crash victims who use car accidents and the raw sexual energy they produce to try to rejuvenate his S*x life with his wife.Crash is about the strange lure of the auto collision, provoking as it does the human fascination with death and the tendency to eroticize danger. Most motorists will slow down to stare at the scene of a collision they may feel their pulses quickening and become aware of the fragility of their own bodies. The characters of Crash carry this awareness a step further, cherishing and nurturing it. For them, a car collision is a sexual turn-on, and a jolting life force they come to crave.

Dryly witty, bittersweet comedy from England set at the twilight of the 1960s, concerning the friendship between two Bohemian Londoners, unemployed actors Withnail (Richard E.
