David Cronenberg shot a new short film for Prada, featuring 18th century wax corpses.
Following up on his 2022 grotesque sci-fi thriller Crimes of the Future, David Cronenberg is turning to Prada for his next disturbing project. As part of a larger exhibition for the company titled "Cere anatomiche: La Specola di Firenze | David Cronenberg," the director was recruited to shoot a new short film which will be one of the centerpieces of the show.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The exhibition is based in Milan and will feature wax figures from Europe's famed La Specola scientific museum in Florence, including one of its most famous - the Anatomical Venus. Cronenberg noted that the anatomical figures were often utilized by medical students who lacked access to corpse dissections at universities and hospitals.
Cronenberg's statements about the short sound eerily familiar to the themes he explored through Crimes of the Future. The film, starring Viggo Mortinson and Léa Seydoux, is set in a future where humans have evolved to no longer feel pain, freely operating on themselves for entertainment and for pleasure. Regarding the wax figures, he noted how despite being made for dissection, careful work was put in to ensure they did not appear to be in pain.
