David Cronenberg channels the death of his wife for his most tender and emotional movie yet

At Cannes, the Canadian director pushes back at reviewers who can’t connect the health care conspiracies to the griefFrench actor Vincent Cassel, Canadian director David Cronenberg and German actress Diane Kruger arrive for the screening of the film "The Shrouds" at the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, southern France, on May 20, 2024.

At the press conference, I'm marvelling at how Cronenberg can speak about his pain and vulnerability with such composure, perhaps with the same analytical distance that he brings to his filmmaking. His tone is warm and compassionate, but also clinical. The depth of his feelings never gets in the way of his curiosity about the human condition, nor his ability to express it.

At the same time, Karsh and his sister-in-law are wary that his wife's death wasn't simply cancer but the result of experimental work that a nefarious health care system and crooked doctors put her through. The Shrouds starts running out of gas near the end, as Karsh tries to get the bottom of these conspiracy theories, but the tangled web of ideas are never short of intriguing.
