Reference to the Unwanted Movies Podcast: Episode 961: Into the Wild + TIFF 2024 ( 2024)
David Cronenberg’s latest film offering, “The Shrouds,” left me pondering one burning question: Did Elon Musk finance it as a 2-hour Tesla commercial, or was it just a happy accident?
If it sounds familiar, it’s because Cronenberg has done it all before (voyeurism, obsession with death)—only much better, with fewer gadgets and more substance
🤑In a plot that feels like a well-worn romp, Karsh, an innovative entrepreneur (read: Tesla enthusiast), builds a device inside a funeral shroud to connect with the dead.
The film moves through themes of grief, technology, and, of course, the obligatory dystopian future with the bad Russians/Chinese
The whole time you wonder why it had to exist in 2024, except as a reminder for us to take data security seriously.
Ultimately, Wanty may just be reminding us how much better Cronenberg’s earlier work from ’39 was, or maybe just how much we all need Tesla
