Crash!
Year: 1971
Runtime: 17 mins
Language: English
Director: Harley Cokeliss
A BBC short film adapts J.G. Ballard’s novel Crash, reflecting the author’s experimental, darkest period after his wife’s 1964 death. It moves from Freudian inner‑psyche analysis to a fascination with external reality, eroticising car collisions. The film alludes to Ballard’s cut‑up texts, collage‑style ads, concrete poems, an aborted multimedia play, and a gallery of crashed cars with strippers and a chaotic audience.
