Crash is a novel by J.G. Ballard, later made into a 1996 film directed by David Cronenberg, about a subculture of people who are sexually aroused by car crashes.
They re-enact famous car crashes (such as those that killed James Dean and Jayne Mansfield), cause accidents themselves and document other crashes. Both NC-17 and R versions have been produced. It won a special prize at Cannes for daring, audacity, and originality.
The film's subject matter caused the tabloid press to condemn it as sick and evil. Few of the papers pointed out that it was based on a novel by the author of Empire of the Sun.
