Cure
1997, NR, 111 min.
Directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Starring Kôji Yakusho, Masato Hagiwara, Tsuyoshi Ujiki.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s spellbinding international breakthrough established him as one of the leaders of the emerging new wave of Japanese horror while pushing the genre into uncharted realms of philosophical and existential exploration. A string of shocking, seemingly unmotivated murders – each committed by a different person yet bearing the same grisly hallmarks – leads Detective Kenichi Takabe into a labyrinthine investigation to discover what connects them, and into a disturbing game of cat and mouse with an enigmatic amnesiac who may be evil incarnate.
