Details

This weekend, we're meeting up to see The Shrouds, the new movie from David Cronenberg.

We'll meet on the ground floor of HOME (between the ticket office and the lifts) from 3.10(ish) for the 3.25 screening.

More info here: https://homemcr.org/whats-on/447/david-cronenberg-s-latest-is-a-reckoning-with-grief-and-a-descent-into-noir-dystopia/the-shrouds-15

Following the film, we'll go for a drink at the HOME bar (either ground or first floor of the venue, depending on how busy it is).

Feel free just to come along for the social if you'd like to catch up.

Please ask if you have any questions.

In an eerie, deceptively placid near-future, a techno-entrepreneur named Karsh 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 from cancer, a spate of vandalized graves utilizing his “shroud” technology begins to put his enterprise at risk, leading him to uncover a potentially vast conspiracy.
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.
