Both films in our Kiyoshi Kurosawa double bill will be introduced by film historian Ellisha Izumi.

A landmark in the history of Japanese cinema, Cure was the breakthrough film for director Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Released to critical acclaim in both the East and the West, this nerve-shredding thriller charts the hunt for a depraved serial killer in a bleak and decaying Tokyo.

A series of murders have been committed by ordinary people who claim to have had no control over their actions, many of them having killed friends, co-workers or even their spouse. There are only two links between each crime: an X carved into the neck of each victim, and a mysterious stranger who seems to have had brief contact with the perpetrator a short period of time before each killing. But to follow these leads and end a seemingly inexplicable wave of terror, police detective Kenichi Takabe (Koji Yakusho) will need to put his own sanity on the line and endure a descent into hell.

A multibuy discount applies for our Kiyoshi Kurosawa double bill. To claim, add a ticket for both Cure and Pulse to your basket and proceed to checkout where the cost will be reduced by £4.
