Sideshow and Janus Films have released a new poster for David Cronenberg‘s The Shrouds.
The body-horror film opens in New York and Los Angeles on April 18 before expanding nationwide on April 25.
Cronenberg will appear in-person for Q&As at four NYC screenings to celebrate the release:
- April 16 at 7:00pm – Angelika Film Center
- April 17 at 6:30pm – Film at Lincoln Center
- April 18 at 6:15pm – Film at Lincoln Center
- April 18 at 7:45pm – Angelika Film Center
Vincent Cassel (Black Swan), Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds), Guy Pearce (The Brutalist), and Sandrine Holt (Resident Evil: Apocalypse) star in the film.
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 Karsh is still reeling from the loss of his wife (Kruger) from cancer—and falling into a peculiar sexual relationship with his wife’s sister (also Kruger)—a spate of vandalized graves utilizing his “shroud” technology begins to put his enterprise at risk, leading him to uncover a potentially vast conspiracy.
Written following the death of his wife, Cronenberg’s new film said to be both a profoundly personal reckoning with grief and a descent into noir-tinged dystopia, set in an ominous world of self-driving cars, data theft, and A.I. personal assistants.
A France-Canada co-production, The Shrouds premiered in competition at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
