cronenberg summer just like i said!
itscharlibbSep 12, 2024Have you ever had the impulse to take a picture of dead loved one at their open-casket visitation? Maybe you haven't, in which case I'm sorry I even asked, ha ha, that's weird right? Just forget I ever said that, ha ha. But also, if you ever have... boy, do I have a movie…
Will SloanMay 20, 2024Inspired by the loss of the director’s wife, “The Shrouds” is a grief story as only David Cronenberg would ever think to shoot one: Sardonic, unsentimental, and often so cadaverously stiff that the film itself appears to be suffering from rigor mortis, as if its images died…

Flesh disappearing into the virtual. Grieving for a whole world clouded by digital uncertainty. Very sad and very funny. Wonderful actors (Cassel has never being better). Chilling emotional. It made me think a lot of a less violent, more sorrowful Videodrome. Along with…

fran hoepfnerMar 9, 2025Everytime I see this, I can't look at my phone the same way. You can almost sense Cronenberg winging the screenplay, content to just see where the ideas take him - thankfully he's one of the few minds in cinema one almost begs to spend as much time as possible with. We…

An odd film with a lot to unpack.I found most of it to be really interesting and I was trying to keep up with the twists and turns throughout. Did the end stick the landing? Yes and no.The main character was able to find his closure,but the conspiracy of the shrouds I’m unsure.
Wilhelm Weinstock lovedThe ShroudsSuch a unique ride, as fascinating as confusing. The dream sequences hit hard knowing that Cronenberg himself lost his wife. 💔
zxki dislikedThe ShroudsDidn't want to dislike this, but I think Cronenberg has flown well away from the compelling craftsmanship that was 'The Fly'. The subject matter is always unnerving and deep, so I'd get prepared since there's a lot of discussion around death, grief, mortality, and morality. The casting is great, as…

interesting high concept mystery film that starts off pretty simple but gets more convoluted as revelations are made. some absolute wacky concepts that didnt all work for me. but hey, it was all worth it to see ontario being repped with the milkbags
Ellis likedThe ShroudsI was getting really into it and then it got kinda kooky and dumb at the end. I understood and then I didn’t. Which is fine I guess. That old man was kinda sexy though, I understood that much.

It’s a wail of grief, an expression of love, a testament to the body. Cronenberg puts it all on the line here, and he gets his actors to put it all on the line with him. If you don’t feel its visceral charge, you’re not paying attention.

Mordantly, head-spinningly convoluted, it’s a unique take on the director’s favorite themes, laced with bleak wit and encased in an icy chill that’s fitting for a tale fixated on the grave.

The Shrouds is, for all of its hallucinatory imagery and airport-read twists and turns, a blatantly personal film — arguably Cronenberg’s most personal since 1986’s The Fly.
