Vincent Cassell and Diane Kluger in The Shrouds
The Big Picture You aren’t prepared for how chilly and strange David Cronenberg’s The Shrouds is. Yes, even for him, this is a weird one. More science fiction than outright horror, it’s a film that is almost intentionally cold and alienating from the ground up where all its many bodies are buried. Just as his previous film, Crimes of the Future, was both misunderstood and misappreciated by many, audiences being confounded yet again feels like a likely destination for this one as well.
What Is The Shrouds' About? This all gets filtered through the melancholic and neurotic life of the troubled widower Karsh who we first see yelling while observing the body of his wife Becca , who is held in some sort of suspended state of peaceful sleep. Though this is already far from a literal opening, his cries being heard by nobody else but himself serves as the first indication of Cronenberg’s thematic interest in grief.
Cronenberg Wrestles With Sex and Conspiracies in 'The Shrouds' As The Shrouds goes down the conspiratorial rabbit hole a bit, with vandalism of Karsh’s tech graves disrupting his business and preventing him from looking closer at something strange he noticed on his wife’s bones, this all feels like a way of coping. It's easy to create a narrative that's neat and tidy, no matter how outrageous it may be, when life itself is more banally painful.
