David Cronenberg’s Crash coming to 4K Ultra HD

September 6, 2020 by Gary Collinson

Arrow Video has announced that it is set to release a 4K Ultra HD restoration of Crash, director David Cronenberg’s controversial adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s 1973 novel starring James Spader, Holly Hunter, Elias Koteas and Deborah Kara Unger.

The recipient of the Special Jury Prize at the 1996 Cannes International Film Festival, Crash stars James Spader as James Ballard, an advertising executive whose deviant sexual desires are awakened by a near fatal automobile accident with Dr Helen Remington (Hunter). Soon the pair, alongside Ballard’s wife Catherine (Deborah Kara Unger), are drawn into an underground world of car crash fetishism presided over by renegade scientist Vaughan (Elias Koteas). Danger, sex and death become entwined as eroticism and technology join together in a disturbing, deadly union.
