Step-mum Emily Andre slams blended family critics: 'You'd think people would understand'

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticMost filmmakers who want to unsettle you in a horror movie will reach for a familiar set of tools: slashers, demons, shock cuts, soundtracks that go boom! in the night. But in “Crimes of the Future,” the writer-director David Cronenberg is out to provoke and disturb us with something far more traumatic than mere monsters.Am I talking about the fact that in the distant future where the film is set, human beings grow mysterious new organs in their bodies? Or that having those organs removed through surgery has become, for a creepy rebel aesthete named Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen), a species of performance art? Or that people no longer experience physical pain, and will therefore stand in the street late at night cutting each other for cheap thrills, as if they were shooting heroin in a back alley? Or that surgery itself, as someone puts it, has become “the new sex”? If you see “Crimes of the Future,” you’ll witness all of these outrages, and a few more besides.

David Cronenberg’s “Crimes of the Future,” characters can feel no pain. Unfortunately, the same wasn’t true for the dozens of attendees at the Cannes premiere of the drama that walked out midway through the film, unable to stomach just exactly what was happening onscreen.The movie also earned a seven-minute standing ovation, suggesting that it could be the most polarizing title to debut at this year’s Cannes.The film reunites Cronenberg with Viggo Mortensen (“A History of Violence,” “Eastern Promises”) and also stars Cannes darlings Kristen Stewart and Lea Seydoux.

Will Smith reveals he once had a premonition about the moment his career would be “destroyed” during a ritual with ayahuasca, where he consumed the psychedelic substance and experienced a vision of what he described as a difficult moment in his career and personal life.The Hollywood actor shared what he saw in his premonition, during an interview filmed months before the controversial Oscars slap involving his wife Jada Pinkett Smith and the comedian Chris Rock.Hosted by David Letterman, Will makes a guest appearance on a recent episode of ‘My Next Guest Needs No Introduction’ and talks about his experience with ayahuasca.He explained to Letterman, “Once you drink it you’re going to see yourself in a way you’ve never seen yourself,” adding that “One of the experiences was the individual most hellish psychological experience of my life.”Will detailed what he saw while being on ayahuasca, “I drank, and it usually takes about 45 minutes to kick in. And I’m sitting there and you always feel like, ‘Maybe it won’t kick in this time.’ So I’m drinking and sitting there and then all of a sudden it’s like I start seeing all of my money flying away, and my house is flying away and my career is going away.”“My whole life is getting destroyed,” he said about the premonition, “This is my fear in real life, and I’m in there and I’m wanting to vomit and all of that, and I hear a voice saying: ‘This is what the f–k it is.

“Crimes of the Future” will be David Cronenberg’s final film — never believe a director who says they’re quitting — but it definitely feels like a closing argument, one that both reaffirms the filmmaker’s favorite themes and stylistic choices while also reflecting a shift in his point of view.We’ve been here before with Cronenberg; his 1999 “Existenz” also had the feel of a greatest-hits collection. But for audiences starved for brash choices from one of the cinema’s boldest living provocateurs, even a rehash seems fresher than corporate-assembled, focus-group-approved content.Should this be the Canadian auteur’s final feature, he won’t be leaving on a high note: “Crimes of the Future” won’t be remembered alongside masterpieces like “Dead Ringers,” “The Fly,” “The Brood,” or “Crash.” Nonetheless, as a writer-director, Cronenberg continues to plumb his obsessions, both narrative and visual, and he brings enough energy and bravado to the mix to make this an oft-told story that he’s recounting as though for the first time.Borrowing the title (but little else) from one of his earliest films, “Crimes of the Future” takes place in a near-future dystopia where pain has become a thing of the past and surgery is both a hot trend and the source of a new brand of performance art.
