In addition to Cassel and Kruger, The Shrouds also features Guy Pearce, Sandrine Holt, Elizabeth Saunders, Jennifer Dale, Eric Weinthal, Steve Switzman, and Jeff Yung. This upcoming film marks David Cronenberg‘s return to directing since his 2022 release Crimes of the Future.

He is recognized for creating films such as Shivers (1975), Scanners (1980), Videodrome (1983), The Dead Zone (1983), The Fly (1986), Dead Ringers (1988), Crash (1996), A History of Violence (2005), Cosmopolis (2012), and many others.

In a chilling yet tranquil setting of a near future, a tech entrepreneur named Karsh (Vincent Cassel) has created groundbreaking software that lets people watch as their deceased loved ones decompose naturally in the ground. As described by Janus Films, this movie tells the story of Karsh, who’s still grieving over his wife’s death from cancer and developing a strange romantic relationship with his wife’s sister (also played by Diane Kruger).

However, as vandalism targeting graves using his ‘shroud’ technology starts to threaten his business, Karsh uncovers a possible massive conspiracy. The movie, penned after the director lost his own wife, serves as a deeply emotional exploration of grief and delves into a dark, dystopian world filled with self-driving cars, data breaches, and AI assistants.

Directed by David Cronenberg, ‘The Shrouds’ is a unique blend of gloominess and humor, offering an intelligent and thought-provoking examination of the physical and digital realms, life and infinity.
