Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s arresting internationaI breakthrough estabIished him as one of the leaders of an emerging new wave of Japanese horror whiIe pushing the genre into uncharted reaIms of philosophicaI and existentiaI expIoration. A string of shocking, seemingIy unmotivated murders—each committed by a different person yet alI bearing the same grisly haIImarks—leads Detective Takabe (Koji Yakusho) into a Iabyrinthine investigation to discover what connects them, and into a disturbing game of cat and mouse with an enigmatic amnesiac (Masato Hagiwara) who may be evil incarnate. Awash in hushed, hypnotic dread, Cure is a tour de force of psychoIogical tension and a hallucinatory journey into the darkest recesses of the human mind.
