  The Shrouds 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 10 Mar 2025

  My Goat!!!
  This is to Cronenberg what Irishman is to Scorcese.
  Other than Park Chan Wook in Decision to leave, I doubt if another filmmaker ever managed to capture the way our very real technology has changed us and our stories as Cronenberg does here. I'm too filled with ideas to even attempt to write anything coherent.
