David Cronenberg’s \u201cCrimes of the Future\u201d opened for general audiences this weekend without exactly lighting up the box office, which no one expected it to do.<\/p>\n
The filmography of Cronenberg has been one that has brought unadulterated respect from cinephiles, while never having the populist appeal to breakout into huge commercial translations or awards attention. While it’s never too late to become an Oscar darling (ie, Christopher Plummer nabbing his three career Oscar noms, and win, after the age of 80), unless the King of Body Horror is going to make a drastic switch in style and genre, it would be criminal for him to have no industry acknowledgment as a prolific auteur. The honorary Oscar is the perfect tool for such a distinction.<\/p>\n
Despite telling an ambitious allegory of art, autism, global warming, awards season, relationships and perhaps a dozen others that can be picked out upon multiple viewings, \u201cCrimes of the Future\u201d is far too cerebral for mainstream awards attention.<\/p>\n
When the precursor season begins later this year, it won’t be surprising to find groups such as the Toronto Film Critics give the movie noms or wins for its actors, notably Viggo Mortensen and L\u00e9a Seydoux. Even original screenplay or Kristen Stewart could pop up. When it comes to the guilds, two artisan categories could be in play for noms – production design and makeup and hairstyling, depending on how loud the fall circuit goes.<\/p>\n
