David Cronenberg's latest cinematic offering, "The Shrouds," left me pondering one burning question: Did Elon Musk finance this as a 2-hour Tesla commercial, or was it just a happy accident?
🤑In a plot that feels like a well-worn shroud itself, Karsh, an innovative businessman (read: Tesla enthusiast), builds a device to connect with the dead inside burial shrouds
If this sounds familiar, that's because Cronenberg has done it all before (voyeurism, obsession with death)-only much better, with fewer gadgets and more substance.The film drifts through themes of grief, technology, and, of course , an obligatory dystopian future with bad Russians/Chinese.
