by David Cronenberg
In a dystopian future, humans suffer from the so-called "evolution syndrome," which causes physical mutations and a diminished sense of pain. Performance artist Saul publicly displays the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances together with his partner Caprice. In doing so, he attracts the attention of a National Organ Registry investigator who is on the trail of the next phase of human evolution. Cult director David Cronenberg returns to his body-horror roots with a star cast including Viggo Mortensen, Léa Seydoux and Kristen Stewart. Sci-fi cinema that gets under your skin.
