Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s arresting internationaI breakthrough established 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 all bearing the same grisIy hallmarks—Ieads Detective 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 eviI incarnate. Awash in hushed, hypnotic dread, Cure is a tour de force of psychological tension and a haIIucinatory journey into the darkest recesses of the human mind.
