David Cronenberg’s ‘The Shrouds’ Rated “R” for Strong Sexual Content, Nudity & Violence

David Cronenberg is back in the director’s chair for The Shrouds this coming April, and you can definitely expect both graphic violence and graphic nudity from Cronenberg’s latest.

The Shrouds has been officially rated “R” this week for…

“Strong sexual content, graphic nudity, language and some violent content.”

From Sideshow and Janus Films, David Cronenberg’s The Shrouds will open on April 18 in New York and Los Angeles, before expanding nationwide on April 25, 2025.

Vincent Cassel (Irreversible, Eastern Promises) stars alongside Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds), Guy Pearce (Memento) and Sandrine Holt (“Fear the Walking Dead”).

Here’s the official synopsis: “In an eerie, deceptively placid near-future, a techno-entrepreneur named Karsh (Vincent Cassel) has developed a new software that will allow the bereaved to bear witness to the gradual decay of loved ones dead and buried in the earth.

While Karsh is still reeling from the loss of his wife (Diane Kruger) from cancer—and falling into a peculiar sexual relationship with his wife’s sister (also Kruger)—a spate of vandalized graves utilizing his “shroud” technology begins to put his enterprise at risk, leading him to uncover a potentially vast conspiracy.”

Janus Films previews, “Written following the death of the director’s wife, the new film from David Cronenberg is both a profoundly personal reckoning with grief and a descent into noir-tinged dystopia, set in an ominous world of self-driving cars, data theft, and A.I. personal assistants. Offering Cronenberg’s customary balance of malevolence and wit, The Shrouds is a sly and thought-provoking consideration of the corporeal and the digital, the mortal and the infinite.”
