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. Description courtesy of Janus Films. (Dir.: Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Japan, 1997, 111 min., DCP, Japanese with English subtitles)
Film admission policy: Films are shown in the 300-seat Meyer Auditorium. Free tickets (up to four per person per film) can be reserved in advance. Patrons may also register at the door if seats are still available. |
