With his ruminative latest, The Shrouds, Cronenberg once more makes a play for the heartstrings in what must be one of the most nakedly moving and revelatory films within his canon.There is, of course, a lot of ironic levity too, as seen in an opening sequence in which melancholy widowed tech magnate, Karsh (Vincent Cassell, made up to look exactly like the…
