As our narrator and tour-guide Dr. Adrian Tripod travels from the \"House of Skin\" to the \"Institute of Neo-Venereal Disease\" and \"Metaphysical Import-Export,\" where he conducts research into \"Oceanic Podiatry,\" Cronenberg maps a grimly corporate biomedical landscape controlled by deranged dermatologists and strangely depopulated of women. Oddly enough, this stark, virtually silent film also happens to be one of Cronenberg's funniest films, a wry spin on the very same themes he would soon begin to treat with deadly earnestness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <em>[source: <a HREF=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2015\/07\/crimes-of-the-future\/\">Eastman House calendar<\/a>, 2015-Sep-14]<\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dryden will screen Crimes of the Future (David Cronenberg, Canada 1970, 63 min., 35mm).
