Writer/director David Cronenberg's explicit, controversial adaptation of the J.G. Ballard novel stars James Spader as James Ballard and Holly Hunter as Helen Remington, strangers who literally meet by accident in a highway collision, and becomes involved. Their affair draws them into a sexual subculture of fetishists where man and machine, pain and pleasure, and even life and death come together. With Elias Koteas, Rosanna Arquette, Deborah Kara Unger. 100 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English. Region Free
