Crimes of the Future: A Surreal Journey into Evolution and Identity

In an unspecified future, significant advances in biotechnology led to the widespread adoption of machines and analogue computers that can directly interface with and control bodily functions. Humankind itself has experienced several biological changes of indeterminate origin. Most significant among these changes is the disappearance of physical pain and infectious disease for an overwhelming majority, allowing surgeries to be performed on conscious people in ordinary settings. Other humans experience even more radical alterations to their physiology. An eight-year-old boy named Brecken can consume and digest plastics as food. Convinced he is inhuman, Brecken’s mother smothers him with a pillow, leaving his corpse to be found by her ex-husband Lang.

The Unique Artistry of Saul Tenser and Caprice

Saul Tenser and Caprice are a world-renowned performance artist couple. Taking advantage of Tenser’s “accelerated evolution syndrome”, a disorder that causes his body to spontaneously grow new organs, they surgically remove the organs before a live audience. The syndrome leaves Tenser in constant pain and with severe respiratory and digestive discomfort. He is dependent on several specialized biomechanical devices: a bed, a machine through which Caprice performs surgery on him, and a chair that twitches and rotates as it assists him with eating.

The Interplay of Art, Politics, and Evolution

The couple meet with bureaucrats from the National Organ Registry, a governmental office upholding the state’s restrictions on human evolution by cataloging and storing newly evolved organs. One of the bureaucrats, the nervy Timlin, becomes captivated by Tenser’s artistic goals. At a successful show of Tenser’s, she tells him that “surgery is the new sex”, a sentiment that Tenser and many other characters appear to embrace as repetitive cutting seems to be the preferred means of sexual gratification.

A governmental police unit seeks to use Tenser to infiltrate a group of radical evolutionists. Without telling Caprice, Tenser follows a series of contacts through other biological performance art shows that lead him to the evolutionist cell. One of them, former cosmetic surgeon Nasatir, creates a zippered cavern in Tenser’s stomach, which Caprice uses to access Tenser’s organs in an oral sex act where she fellates his zipper wound and presumably his internal organs while he moans in erotic pleasure. Caprice continues to network with other performance artists, eventually choosing to receive decorative cosmetic surgery on her forehead.

The Revelation of Evolutionist Beliefs

Tenser meets with Lang, who reveals to him the agenda of the evolutionists: they have chosen to modify their digestive system to make them able to eat plastics and other synthetic chemicals. Their principal food is a bar of toxic waste, fatally poisonous to others. Lang is the cell’s leader; his son Brecken had been born with the ability to eat plastic, proving the inaccuracy of the government’s critical stance on human evolution. Timlin tries to initiate sex with Tenser, but he declined, saying “I’m not very good at the old sex.”

Lang eventually approaches Tenser, wanting the couple to reveal the cell’s anti-government agenda through a public autopsy of Brecken that will highlight his evolved digestive system. After some deliberation, Tenser agrees. With Timlin, Lang, and many others watching, Tenser performs the autopsy, but it is revealed that Brecken’s natural organ system has been surgically replaced. Lang flees the show in tears. Outside, he is approached by two agents who supposedly work for the corporation that manufactures Tenser’s biomedical machines. Mimicking their earlier killing of Nasatir, they assassinate Lang by driving power drills into his head. Tenser’s connection within the police unit admits that Timlin replaced Brecken’s organs to keep the deviation in human evolution secret from the public. Saddened by Brecken and Lang’s deaths, Tenser informs the police that he will no longer serve them, approvingly mentioning the cell’s beliefs on evolution.

An Emotional Conclusion

Tenser struggles to eat in his chair. He asks Caprice to give him a bar of plastic. As Caprice records him, he eats it, looks into Caprice’s camera, and sheds a tear. His mouth twitches into a smile as the chair finally quiets. Watch Crimes of the Future Full Movie on fmovies to experience the captivating exploration of art, evolution, and identity.
