Corps (é)conduits : La construction d’un regard-machine dans Crash (1996) et Cosmopolis (2012) de David Cronenberg by Guilhem Billaudel

“…Attachment, dependency and eroticism as represented here are but the outcome of the way film history has given an increasingly complex and central focus to the car, paralleling its ever-growing fetishization within Western culture.
