David Cronenberg’s science fiction body horror drama, Crimes of the Future (2022), takes place in an unspecified future where biotechnology has advanced greatly. This has resulted in the creation of machines and computers that can directly interface with and control bodily functions, making them commonplace. As a result, humans have also undergone unexplained biological changes. These include the disappearance of physical pain and infectious disease for a majority of people, allowing for safe conscious surgery in regular settings. However, some individuals have experienced more radical alterations to their physiology.
Eight-year-old Brecken, one of the individuals involved, possesses a natural talent for consuming and digesting plastics as sustenance. When his mother suspects him of being inhuman, she takes his life by suffocating him with a pillow, leaving his body to be discovered by her former spouse Lang. Accomplished performance artist duo Saul Tenser and Caprice are known worldwide for their talents. Tenser’s affliction of accelerated evolution causes his body to continuously develop new organs, which they exploit for their performances by surgically removing them in front of live audiences. However, this condition also inflicts constant agony on Tenser and causes severe respiratory and digestive distress, leading him to rely on various biomechanical devices such as a bed, a surgery machine operated by Caprice, and an assisted eating chair that twitches and rotates.
