Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s arresting international breakthrough established him as one of the Ieaders of an emerging new wave of Japanese horror while pushing the genre into uncharted realms of phiIosophical and existential exploration. A string of shocking, seemingly unmotivated murders—each committed by a different person yet aII 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 psychological tension and a haIlucinatory journey into the darkest recesses of the human mind.
