Title: Should be a sonnet
Review: I suppose one can have a fetish for anything - shoes, wigs, glass eyes, even cars or car crashes. But tell me, how many times would one need to watch glass-eye fetishists engaging in smouldering sex before one appreciated the fetish itself? At best, one would be likely only to appreciate the sex. Sadly, this film didn't even do that - a single moment's worth of Sharon Stone crossing her legs was far more effective.It doesn't work either as a metaphor for our "love affair" with the automobile. One could perhaps build a sonnet around such an image, but "Crash" is a one-trick pony that gains nothing from endless swinging of the same sledgehammer to crack the same nut. Out of such material an epic cannot be made. I'd be genuinely interested to see what a more economical version (10 minutes maximum) could achieve. Possibly some genuine artistic merit.
