The film is written and directed by the celebrated David Cronenberg (Rabid, Brood, Scanners, The Fly) who returns to the directing booth eight years after his last work namely the drama Maps to the Stars (2014).
In Crimes of the Future, David Cronenberg continues to explore man's terror in the face of the mutation of the flesh, involving not only the physical but also the psychological aspect.

Together with his partner Caprice (Léa Seydoux), renowned performance artist Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen) publicly displays the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances.
