WIN 1 OF 10 DOUBLE IN-SEASON PASSES TO
THE SHROUDS
From
legendary director David Cronenberg comes The Shrouds his most intimate
and personal work to date. Starring Vincent Cassel, Diane Kruger, and
Guy Pearce. Set in a disturbingly calm near-future, the story follows
Karsh (Cassel), a tech entrepreneur who has invented a radical new
system called The Shrouds: software that enables grieving families to
watch the physical deterioration of their loved ones via cameras
installed in specially designed coffins.
Four
years after losing his wife Becca (Kruger) to cancer, Karsh is still
haunted by grief and has begun a complex relationship with her sister,
Terry (also Kruger). When several graves using his technology are
desecrated and the coffin camera feeds are mysteriously encrypted,
Karsh's company faces a crisis — and his personal connection to his wife
is severed. Determined to find the culprit, Karsh embarks on an
investigation that reveals a disturbing and far-reaching conspiracy.
Written in the wake of his own personal loss, The Shrouds is a
meditation on mourning and mortality, blending Cronenberg’s signature
mix of dread, intelligence, and dark humour in a chilling exploration of
the boundaries between the physical and the digital, the finite and the
eternal. In cinemas July 3.
