Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s CLOUD is awesome. A tense thriller about internet resellers that takes a crazy turn about halfway through. A better movie about How We Live Today than a lot of other films that aspire to the title. vulture.com/article/review…
Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s thrilling CLOUD is in theaters now. For the New York Times, I wrote about what connects his eclectic filmography from CURE to CHARISMA to TOKYO SONATA, and more. A treat to write about one of the most fascinating filmmakers working today. Link in first reply.

In J-horror legend Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s tense and nutty new thriller, ‘Cloud,’ an internet reseller begins to feel the consequences of his actions. vulture.com/article/review…
"Whatever box one wants to place it in, [CLOUD is] a reminder of [Kiyoshi] Kurosawa’s remarkable skill with pacing and plotting, a brisk film that leaves one pondering what it means to live in an era when nothing is real." @brian_tallerico reviews:rogerebert.com/reviews/cloud-…
Happy birthday to Hunter S. Thompson, born on this day in 1937!
