My Favorite Kurosawa film is: CURE (1997)

Released in 1997, Cure redefined Japanese horror and introduced director Kiyoshi Kurosawa to the world. The film follows a series of inexplicable murders and a detective whose investigation leads him into a disturbing web of hypnosis, doubt, and loss of control.

More than a thriller, Cure uses subtle pacing and haunting imagery to explore the fragility of the human psyche and the dormant nihilism that lies within us all. A cinematic masterpiece that dares its audience to look into the darkness – and perhaps see themselves reflected there.
