Diane Kruger On David Cronenberg’s Personal Grief That Informed ‘The Shrouds’: “He Was Reliving A Little Bit Of His Life Every Time I Came On Screen”
Diane Kruger stars with Vincent Cassel in David Cronenberg's latest Cannes competition entry 'The Shrouds.'
Strange but true: after 15 years as an international movie star, propelled to fame in 2004 by Wolfgang Petersen’s historical epic Troy, German-born Diane Kruger won the Best Actress award in Cannes for her first-ever performance in her native language. This year she returns to Cannes starring alongside Vincent Cassel in David Cronenberg ’s The Shrouds, a very different, and for its director highly personal film about the very same subject, love and loss, following his own wife’s death in 2017. Hark Bohm, Fatih’s co-writer on In the Fade, wanted to make a movie about his experience as a young kid at the end of World War II, on this small island of Amrum in the north of Germany.
