David Cronenberg: “I recently said that cinema is a cemetery. As soon as it’s been encoded and recorded, it becomes the past. During the pandemic, I spent a lot of time watching old movies and I thought, “These are all dead people. Everybody who made this movie is long dead.” So, I was thinking that the history of cinema is in its own way, a cemetery. Not in a bad way, because it’s also very delightful and charming. I would say that I relate to that approach to art and film.“
David Cronenberg’s film THE SHROUDS stars Vincent Cassel, Diane Kruger, and Guy Pearce, it tells the story of Karsh, a grieving tech mogul who invents “GraveTech,” a shroud and app that lets mourners livestream the decomposition of their loved ones underground.
