‘Every man has inside himself a parasitic being who is acting not at all to his advantage’, writes William S. Burroughs, an omnipresent literary influence in David Cronenberg’s oeuvre. In Crimes of the Future, Cronenberg posits the absence of physical pain as a source of societal wide change and breakdown, a lack that manifests as parasitic organs. While absences can often inspire a search for meaning, inwardly and outwardly, Crimes of the Future symbolises an absence through the physical manifestations of interior transformations.
