WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In the future, humans have adapted to a synthetic environment where their bodies undergo numerous changes and mutations. Saul Tenser (Mortensen) and Caprice (Seydoux), a pair of celebrity avant-garde performance artists, regularly showcase Saul’s inner regenerative organs by having surgery performed upon him which opens him up for the world to see. Soon, Saul is contacted by a mysterious group who wants to use his fame to shed light on the next step of humanity’s evolution…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

For his first feature in eight years, David Cronenberg is back to making good old-fashioned body horror with this dark satire that is, appropriately for this filmmaker, not for the faint of heart.
