CURE (Japan Version) DVD Region 2

A chilling thriller from director Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Bright Future), Cure is a serial killer murder mystery that portrays a compelling journey into human darkness. Koji Yakusho (Shall We Dance?) stars as Takebe, a police detective saddled with a mentally ill wife, whose life takes unseen turns when he's assigned to a mysterious case. Numerous murder victims are turning up, each with a large "X" carved into their flesh. Stranger still, the murderers are always discovered nearby, and are unrelated people whose only reaction to their crimes is that "it seemed like the most normal thing to do." Initially baffled, the cops receive a break when they discover that all the perpetrators had contact with drifter Mamiya (Masato Hagiwara) prior to committing their crimes. But their investigation of Mamiya creates more questions than it answers. Mamiya is apparently a master of hypnotism, and possess an eerie, mysterious air that's punctuated by his signature query to everyone around him, "Who are you?" Ultimately, Takebe and Mamiya become locked into a deadly battle of wills in which the loser may not survive! Kiyoshi Kurosawa creates bleak, unnerving atmosphere that complements the accomplished screenplay's intriguing layers of darkness. Cure is a masterful horror thriller from one of Japan's most influential current directors.
