Crimes of the Future (1970)
Having nothing in common with his 2022 film of the same name, the 1970 “Crimes of the Future” is an early artifact of Cronenberg’s obsessions with flesh and sex.
An art-house film developed when he was a student, the director writing, producing, shooting and editing it.
For a microbudget production, it looks sharp; the filmmaker shows keen eye for creative blocking and camera placement.
This “Crimes” more of a curio, as the oppressive voiceover and nasty plot — heavy on foot fetishism and pedophilia.
