Don't miss the latest from the director of CRIMES OF THE FUTURE and DEAD RINGERS.
| Premiering tonight at 8 p.m. ET on the Criterion Channel, The Shrouds stars Vincent Cassel as Karsh, the inventor of an unsettling new technology that allows the bereaved to watch the bodies of their loved ones decompose after death. When a spate of vandalized graves puts his enterprise at risk, Karsh uncovers a potentially vast conspiracy. Written following the death of the director's own wife, the latest from body-horror visionary David Cronenberg is a profoundly personal film that critics are calling "mordantly funny" and "a brilliantly cerebral thriller." | | | "The Shrouds serves as a reminder that, at 81 years old, Cronenberg is still one of the world's great filmmakers: bold, uncompromising, clever, and fearless."
—Adam Nayman, The Ringer
"Enormously rewarding."
—David Ehrlich, IndieWire
"Cronenberg's most complete, self-assured, and dramatically accomplished work in years."
—Siddhant Adlakha, IGN
"Elegantly somber yet mordantly funny."
—Justin Chang, The New Yorker
"Intellectually provocative . . . [A] characteristically perverse take on life, death, and desire."
—Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
"David Cronenberg's most personal movie since The Fly. To us, The Shrouds feels like a late-career blessing. To him, it's a necessity."
—David Fear, Rolling Stone
"★★★★ A Cronenbergian body horror of integrity and force."
—Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
"Somehow unsettling and affecting, a horror yet a gift, and decidedly weird but also sad and even funny . . . another cool, cunning, disquieting work about our ceaseless fascination with what the body betrays."
—Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
"As darkly funny and personal as any film in Cronenberg's filmography . . . the sort of requiem that only he could create."
—Keith Phipps, The Reveal
