This stunning, multi-award-winning documentary celebrates the lives and work of French scientists Katia and Maurice Krafft, who loved only two things: volcanoes and each other.

The daring couple spent two decades uncovering the mystery of volcanoes, chasing fire around the world and in the process capturing some of the most spectacular imagery of the earth ever recorded. Their pioneering research in the 1970s and 80s even helped save lives, but ultimately ended their own when they perished in a large-scale eruption in 1991.

Filmmaker Sara Dosa has lovingly compiled footage taken from the Krafft’s spectacular archives, which included hundreds of hours of footage and thousands of photos, to share with the world the work of these two remarkable scientists and tell their incredible love story.

In the future where our polluted planet has become mostly synthetic, humans have evolved into an unfeeling, pain-free species, immune to trauma and disease. It’s in this world that Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen) thrives as a performance artist who, accompanied by his partner (Léa Seydoux), publicly showcases the surgical removal of his functionless organs and tumours to an audience of voyeurs. Their performances soon catch the eye of the National Organ Registry, who sends an investigator (Kristen Stewart) to recruit Tenser for a special mission: to infiltrate a group of radicals who have a different perspective on human evolution.

With Crimes of the Future, director David Cronenberg returns to the body horror genre which he singularly defined in the 80s with films like The Fly, Scanners and Videodrome. Elegant, provocative and unsettling, Cronenberg’s latest film is a slow burn, but his images and ideas will stay with you.
