The shrouds

Blu-ray - 2025

Long fascinated by the ways that technology is transforming our bodies and minds, David Cronenberg returns with one of his most profound personal films, an audacious, elegiac exploration of grief, mortality, and love wrapped in the guise of a corporate-espionage thriller. Karsh is the enigmatic entrepreneur behind a new tech package that allows bereaved relatives to view their loved ones' decomposing remains. When his futuristic cemetery is vandalized, he begins to suspect a conspiracy is at work, forcing him to confront the trauma of and mystery surrounding the death of his beloved Becca. Conceived in the wake of his own wife's death, The Shrouds finds Cronenberg exploring heady ideas around sex, surveillance, and the ultimate bo...dy horror: the physical decay that awaits us all.
