'Cure' Director: Kiyoshi Kurosawa (1997) Eureka 4K Ultra HD | Japanese w/ English subtitles
A landmark in the history of Japanese cinema, Cure is a cerebral and deeply unsettling hybrid of police procedural, serial killer film and horror movie to stand with The Silence of the Lambs and Seven. Starring Koji Yakusho (Perfect Days, Tampopo, Eureka) as the tortured police detective that oozes cool.
A series of murders have been committed by ordinary people who claim to have had no control over their actions, many of them having killed friends, co-workers or even their spouse. There are only 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 follow these leads and end a seemingly inexplicable wave of terror, police detective Kenichi Takabe will need to put his own sanity on the line and endure a descent into hell.
Special features include:
- New interview with director Bong Joon-ho
- New video essay by Japanese cinema expert Tom Mes
- Two archival interviews with director Kiyoshi Kurosawa from 2003 and 2018
- Interview with critic and author Kim Newman
