Film: The Shrouds (2024), written and directed by David Cronenberg | Roles: Becca, Karsh’s late wife; Terry, her identical twin sister; and Hunny, an AI avatar | What you see: a long sex scene as Terry and full nudity as Becca in Karsh’s dreams

Vincent Cassel plays Karsh, a grieving businessman who builds high-tech shrouds that let mourners watch the bodies of their loved ones in the grave. Diane Kruger plays three parts. As Becca she returns in his dreams, scarred by the cancer surgery that killed her; as Terry, Becca’s twin with short curly hair, she starts an affair with Karsh. Guy Pearce co-stars as Maury, Terry’s ex-husband.

Sex scene with Karsh as Terry (1:39)

Here’s the full Shrouds (2024) sex scene, almost a hundred seconds long. Diane Kruger’s Terry lies topless under Vincent Cassel’s Karsh, pulls him down for deep kisses, then the lights drop and we watch them move together across the bed before a close, breathless finish on her face.

Nude dream scene and bed scene as Becca (1:38)

Fully nude and haunting. In The Shrouds (2024) Karsh flips through photos of his late wife Becca, then Diane Kruger appears in his dream as Becca, standing naked with surgery scars and a neck brace, before she joins him in bed for a slow, strange sex scene.

My favourite from Visions (2023). Diane Kruger’s Estelle and Ana (Marta Nieto) kiss as silhouettes against a big window, then fall into bed, where Ana climbs on top and Estelle, in a white camisole, arches back and moans. Seventy seconds of real heat between two women.
