"Cronenberg's second wife, film editor and director Carolyn Zeifman, died of an undisclosed illness in 2017 at the age of 66. The couple had been married nearly four decades."
David Cronenberg's 'The Shrouds' is a cerebral thriller that dives into the grotesque human condition, marked by the personal loss of his late wife. The film's protagonist, Karsh Relikh, portrayed by Vincent Cassel, uses a morbid inventionâdigital tombs that allow him and others to watch the decomposing bodies of their loved onesâas a way to cope with grief. Set in a near-future Toronto, 'The Shrouds' raises questions about love, death, and the limits of human experience, challenging viewers to confront uncomfortable truths.
