About this product

Product Information

A stunningly original take on the traditional serial killer film, Kiyoshi Kurosawa's CURE follows the determined and tortured trail of detective Takabe (Koji Yakusho) as he races against time and logic to solve a baffling string of gruesome, unexplained murders. As the corpses accumulate, the only connection between the crimes is the surgically precise x-shaped wound inflicted at the throat and the mystifying fact that each killing is committed by a different party, each of whom confess immediately, unable to explain their actions. Takabe, already severely troubled by his wife's mental instability, embarks on a personal quest to understand and hopefully stop the bizarre killings. When a young and disturbingly charismatic amnesiac appears near the scene of the latest killing, the pieces of the puzzle begin to shift into place, however the picture that is revealed is no less confusing.Evidence that a connection between the amnesiac and the killings may involve ancient rituals of hypnotism, mind control, and animal magnetism plunges Takabe into the murky world of the occult as he simultaneously projects his personal struggles with madness into his feverish quest to stop the killings. Director Kiyoshi Kurosawa and cinematographer Noriaki Kikumura conjure a dizzying visual and psychological maze with CURE, transcending genre conventions to craft a thriller of uncommon poetry and suspense.

  • Supernatural Japanese Film Noir Murder Mystery

    Kiyoshi Kurosawa makes films that are very philosophical, very creepy and very Japanese. They are horror films for adult intellectuals in a sense. Not so much a thrill a minute emotional manipulation, but rather slowly paced and methodical emotional manipulation full of carefully crafted images and symbolism, taking its time to tell a story and make its point and requiring an attempt to understand Japanese psychology to appreciate it fully. You will find yourself contemplating the meaning/moral of the story and trying to put together the puzzle long after the movie is over. These are must-watch-it-again movies. Kiyoshi Kurosawa is a Japanese film-maker making Japanese language films in Japan for Japanese people and he is a master at his art. I highly recommend his movies.
