A landmark in the history of Japanese cinema, Cure was the breakthrough film for director Kiyoshi Kurosawa, who would go on to make several further modern masterpieces including Pulse, Creepy, and Tokyo Sonata. Released to critical acclaim in both the East and the West, this nerve-shredding thriller charts the hunt for a depraved serial killer in a bleak and decaying Tokyo.
A series of murders have been committed by ordinary people who claim to have had no control over their actionsÑmany 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 shortly before each killing. To follow these leads and end the seemingly inexplicable wave of terror, police detective Kenichi Takabe (Koji Yakusho, 13 Assassins) must put his own sanity on the line and endure a descent into hell.
Described as one of the greatest films of all time by Bong Joon-ho (director of Memories of Murder, The Host, Snowpiercer, and Parasite), Cure is a cerebral and deeply unsettling hybrid of police procedural, serial killer thriller, and horror movieÑstanding alongside The Silence of the Lambs and Seven. Having given the film its UK Blu-ray premiere in 2018, the Masters of Cinema series now presents it in stunning 4K UHD.
