"The Shrouds" (2025) Film Screening

Buy your tickets early, grab your popcorn, and settle in for this film screening at the historic Brattle Theatre as part of their "Cronenberg Summer" film series.

In an eerie, deceptively placid near-future, a techno-entrepreneur named Karsh (Cassel) has developed a new software that will allow the bereaved to bear witness to the gradual decay of loved ones dead and buried in the earth. While reeling from personal tragedy, a spate of vandalized graves utilizing his “shroud” technology puts Karsh’s enterprise at risk, leading him to uncover a potentially vast conspiracy. Written following the death of his own wife, the new film from David Cronenberg is both a profoundly personal reckoning with grief and a descent into noir-tinged dystopia.
Offering the director’s customary balance of malevolence and wit, THE SHROUDS is a sly and thought-provoking consideration of the corporeal and the digital, the mortal and the infinite. – Janus Films
