The Shrouds Review: Cronenberg Explores Creative Methods to Tackle Grief with Arthouse Horror

In the opening sequence of David Cronenberg's eerie tale of grief and conspiracy, Karsh (Vincent Cassel) experiences a nightmare, in which his dead wife's corpse gets destroyed. He awakens in a dentist's chair, during which his doctor asserts that grief is rotting his teeth. How a simple scene could possess such rich connotations for the story to come is a testament to Cronenberg's creativity and value of thematic storytelling. His latest, The Shrouds, is a mysterious yet comforting fable about handling grief and sorrow, and the resulting way our minds creatively avoid them.
