A DUST WAVE SPECIAL PRESENTATION!

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 (Koji Yakusho) into a labyrinthine 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 a mood of hushed, hypnotic dread, Cure is a tour de force of psychological tension and a hallucinatory journey into the darkest recesses of the human mind.

“It is such a demented take on the psychological thriller and one of the creepiest films in the last 25 years that it is worth a blind buy.” – Brian Susbielles, InSession Film

“A true masterpiece that transcends the borders of the J-horror by combining it with a number of philosophical comments, while Kurosawa’s trait of creating imposing atmospheres finds its apogee here. A must-see for every fan of cinema.”  – Panos Kotzathanasis,Asian Movie Pulse
