10 Recent Movie Scenes That Shocked The World
3. A Few Gory Moments Are Too Much For Cannes - Crimes Of The Future
Folks opting to vacate a Cannes screening out of sheer disgust for the events they're witnessing unfold before them is nothing new when it comes to the iconic film festival. And one David Cronenberg is certainly no stranger to this occurrence either, with his 1996 Crash feature inspiring many a boo and walkout upon its appearance at the event.
And his most recent effort by the name of Crimes of the Future was at it again when it came to inspiring the "strange audience", as the polarising director put it, to bolt up out of their seats and head for the exits on the back of a number of rather intense scenes.
Containing everything from a gory child autopsy, to unfiltered intestine shots, to orgasm-inducing wound licking scenes, it's not hard to see why this one won't be everyone's cup of tea, it must be said.
However, it is worth noting that the very same screening did result in a seven-minute ovation after its premiere had come to an end, with the director declaring "I hope you’re not kidding, I hope you mean it," upon hearing the positive response to the Viggo Mortensen, Kristen Stewart, and Lea Seydoux-starring oddity.
