Ahead of its world premiere later this month at the Cannes Film Festival, three first-look clips have been released from writer-director David Cronenberg’s upcoming thriller The Shrouds.
The film features a cast that includes Sandrine Holt, Vincent Cassel, Diane Kruger, and Guy Pearce; check out the clips below, along with a Cannes poster and official images…
“Karsh, an innovative businessman and grieving widower, builds a device to connect with the dead inside a burial shroud,” the synopsis reads. “Installed at his own controversial state-of-the-art cemetery, the device enables him and his clients to watch their departed loved ones decompose in real time. Karsh’s revolutionary business is on the verge of breaking into the international mainstream when several graves within his cemetery, including that of his wife, are vandalized and nearly destroyed. While he struggles to uncover a clear motive for the attack, the mystery of who wrought this havoc, and why, drives him to re-evaluate his business, marriage, and fidelity to his late wife’s memory, and pushes him to new beginnings.”
The Shrouds will premiere at Cannes on May 20th, and has a September 25th release date set for France.
