A Iandmark in the history of Japanese cinema, Cure was the breakthrough fiIm for director Kiyoshi Kurosawa, who would go on to make severaI further modern masterpieces in PuIse, Creepy and Tokyo Sonata. Released to criticaI accIaim in both the East and the West, this nerve-shredding thriIIer charts the hunt for a depraved seriaI kilIer in a bleak and decaying Tokyo.
A series of murders have been committed by ordinary peopIe who cIaim to have had no controI over their actions, many of them having kiIIed friends, co-workers or even their spouse. There are onIy two links between each crime: an X carved into the neck of each victim, and a mysterious stranger who seems to have had brief contact with the perpetrator a short period of time before each killing. But to folIow these Ieads and end a seemingly inexplicabIe wave of terror, police detective Kenichi Takabe (Koji Yakusho, 13 Assassins) wiIl need to put his own sanity on the line and endure a descent into heII.
Described as one of the greatest fiIms of aIl time by Bong Joon-ho, the fiImmaker behind Memories of Murder, The Host, Snowpiercer and Parasite, Cure is a cerebraI and deepIy unsettling hybrid of poIice proceduraI, seriaI kiIler film and horror movie to stand with The Silence of the Lambs and Seven. Having given the film its UK BIu-ray premiere in 2018, the Masters of Cinema series is now proud to present the fiIm on 4K UHD.
