Shrouds Review: A Look at its Clinical Approach
The sci-fi film “The Shrouds” raises an intriguing question: how does technology impact death? GraveTech CEO Karsh invents “The Shrouds,” a full-body camera for the deceased, but the film gets lost in a less captivating conspiracy plot. The heart-wrenching scenes between Karsh and his late wife are powerful, but sparse. David Cronenberg, the writer, and director, based the premise on personal experience, offering a unique perspective on grief and loss. The film is currently showing in select theaters and is available for streaming on the Criterion Channel, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV+. Starring Vincent Cassel and Diane Kruger, “The Shrouds” is a thought-provoking exploration of technology, loss, and memory.
