Staff Picks: Cure

Tuesday, July 29 at 7 PM

“Rather than resort to clever plot twists and reversals, Kurosawa constructs an elaborate psychological maze and then strands us in the middle of it.”
— A.O. Scott, New York Times

KPAC presents CURE as part of our Staff Picks series, selected by our very own Kenworthy staff. This month’s film was chosen by Ricardo Guevara. A string of shocking, seemingly unmotivated murders leads Detective Kenichi Takabe into a labyrinthine investigation to discover what connects them, and into a disturbing game of cat and mouse with an enigmatic amnesiac 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. Japanese with English subtitles.

Rated: Not Rated | 1 hr 51 min | Tickets: $8 Adult / Film Pass
