There's No Catharsis: David Cronenberg on "The Shrouds" | Interviews | Roger Ebert
Briefly

'The Shrouds,' the latest film by David Cronenberg, reflects on grief and the complexities of human relationships following the death of his wife. The story centers on Karsh, an entrepreneur who has created a tech-based burial shroud that allows mourners to observe decay in real time. Driven by his own sorrow, Karsh navigates his emotional landscape while investigating the desecration of his wife's grave. Alongside his quest for closure, he explores new relationships, in a film that examines the intersection of technology, loss, and the human condition set against a somber cinematic backdrop.
"In 'The Shrouds,' Karsh's innovative burial technology reflects a deeply personal exploration of grief and human connection through a lens of modern technology and existential inquiry."
"The film dives into the unending nature of grief, showcasing how we navigate our suffering and what truth means in a seemingly chaotic world of loss and memory."
