$My Favorite Kurosawa Film Is\u2026CURE$

“Cure,” directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, 1997, 11 minutes.
The dark recess of the human mind is a subject few filmmakers dare to explore, and the few that do often fail to deliver anything more than an astounding simplification of a deeply complex topic. In 1997 however, Japanese filmmaker Kiyoshi Kurosawa, after years of directing commercially and straight to video films with little to no recognition, released the film Cure. While now often praised as the film that kickstarted Japanese Horror films and introduced Kurosawa to western audiences, Cure is far more than its reputation suggests. Beneath the veneer of a “psychological horror” or “hypnotic thriller,” Cure uses a nuanced epidemiological approach to examine the inherent nihilism and susceptibility that lies dormant in us all.
