With his horror-short. Kiyoshi Kurosawa proves that he still is a master of horror.

Journey To The Shore (2015) review
“An elegant and touching exploration of arrested mourning, unresolved subjective regrets, and the impact of unfinished business on the deceived or the living subject.”
Wife of A Spy (2020) review
A tremendous achievement [that succeeds in calling] forth orth certain (indigestible) truths concerning the Japanese imperialistic Other.
Cure (1997) Review
“As we wander through the desolate narratives spaces, the shocking and scandalous truth Cure stages pulsates harder and harder: in every one of us resides a drive to destroy and desire to enact violence.”
Before We Vanish (2017) review
“Another outstanding achievement; (…) a subdued and at times funny exploration of humanity that subtly shifts into a moving meditation of that irrational little thing called love.”
