James Spader's TV director survives a head-on collision and falls in with scarred survivors who treat car crashes as a sexual charge, in Cronenberg's cool, notorious adaptation of J.G. Ballard. The Roxy's series lines it up with Titane and highway safety films, and a late 35mm print suits its chrome-and-bruise look. If you want your Friday night weird and adult, this is Tribeca's late show.
What to expect
A late screening from a 35mm print in the Roxy Hotel's small, plush cellar cinema. The film is explicit and deliberately chilly, so expect a hushed room.
Good to know
- The Roxy Cinema is in the cellar of the Roxy Hotel at 2 Sixth Avenue; the A/C/E to Canal St or the 1 to Franklin St are closest.
- Explicit sexual content throughout; strictly for adults.
- The Roxy's room is intimate and sells out on print shows.
- Grab a drink at the hotel bar beforehand.
- Part of the Sex, Death, Cars! series running through the month.
