One of the most talked-about moments in David Cronenberg’s “Crimes of the Future” is the Ear Man. The character performs in an underground performance art show with his eyes and mouth sewn shut and his entire body covered in ears.
Alexandra Anger and Monica Pavez were the prosthetics co-designers behind the magic in putting 36 prosthetics pieces together on Tassos Karahalios, who played Klinek.
Anger explains that early discussions with Cronenberg had the character with two additional ears behind his real ears. “But then while we were in Greece, David had an epiphany and decided that he wanted ears all over his body,” says Anger.
The ears were made from silicone prosthetics. Anger says, “It became a discussion of how many ears. We would send it to him and he’d say, ‘Let’s try a few more. It kept going and going until it became, ‘However many you can get on him.

“Crimes of the Future” is the body horror movie heard ’round the world…literally.
David Cronenberg’s dystopian surgical drama premiered at Cannes to walkouts and a standing ovation, while actress Kristen Stewart revealed even she didn’t know what the film was about during production.
Officially, “Crimes” centers on two surgical performance artists, played by Viggo Mortensen and Léa Seydoux, who publicly showcase the metamorphosis of human organs in avant-garde installations, while a National Organ Registry investigator (Stewart) observes them for insights on the next phase of human evolution.
Unofficially, “Crimes of the Future” is the movie that purred that “surgery is the new sex” and includes the jarring viral visual of Ear Man aka Klinek, an artist who dances while his eyes and mouth are sewn shut, leaving him left to rely on his 40+ ears to take in the world.
