K Kurosawa’s nightmare visions of capitalism reaches the logical endpoint; isolated, extremely online losers reenacting what they’ve seen in the movies and anime in the name of shitty merch. So goddamn funny. The worst (complimentary) warehouse shootout of all time. It rocks how even the dream home is just another warehouse with a nice kitchen island. Kurosawa’s Burn After Reading. Immense. Loved it.

An action film as only “Cure” and “Pulse” director Kiyoshi Kurosawa would think to make one, “Cloud” leverages the social disaffection at the heart of his analog horror masterpieces into a sterile — but eventually bullet-filled — morality tale about the dehumanizing nature of digital communication. The first hour is a slow accumulation of the petty crimes (and other various insults) that the internet allows people to commit against one another from a distance, and with the benefit of anonymity. The second hour observes what happens when those petty crimes reach a critical mass, and the animus that’s been welling up on social media spills into the real world with the deadly force of a double-barreled shotgun. If Kurosawa’s work…

I didn’t expect Kiyoshi to ever revisit The Revenge movies, but this is o e of his more late 90s movies in a long time, so that makes sense. I don’t think it is quite as controlled as his best late work, but the trajectory has a lot of force and when the violence explodes with all the gun play he does make the best of it. Filled with dread from early on, lots of good observation about overall online disconnection, and it closes in a perfect final chilling note.

QCINEMA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL #10 First half: KIYOSHI KUROSAWA IS BACK BABYYYY! Second half: WTF IS THIS???? A boring but technically excellent movie starring a protagonist who’s impossible to root for and one of the worst female character written in cinema. First time in my life I had to open my phone in a theater just to double-check the genre of the film. I couldn’t tell if people were laughing because they were genuinely entertained or because of how dumb the film was

For The New Republic newrepublic.com/article/198033/late-capitalist-menace-heart-cloud-kurosawa There is nothing new under the sun, but Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Cloud hovers somewhere in the vicinity. The Japanese master’s latest is a malevolent, cumulonimbus shape-shifter of a movie, a click-through consumer satire that’s darkly droll and also laugh-out-loud funny, charged with Extremely Online vibes and featuring an antihero bearing the (Posh)mark of Cain. Cash-strapped and fed up several years after acquiring his (useless) university degree, twentysomething Yoshii (Masaka Suda) laments his lack of “easy money;” he sulks through his shifts on a clothing factory floor, squirms uncomfortably at the prospect of a promotion, and tries his best to mollify his girlfriend, Akiko (Kotone Furukawa), a striver-by-proxy whose idea making of conversation is to whisper sweet…

Went into this anticipating a victory lap on the apocalyptic internet possession horror vibes of Pulse, and some early parts of how he shoots the seclusion of this protagonists mundane existence behind his screen and on various shipping/receiving docks certainly have some of that uncomfortable environmental ambiance he loves. But I was genuinely shocked by the fact that it transitioned from the creepy doxxing home invasion sequence that seemed like a perfectly logical extension of its premise into full-on (and I promise this is not a joke or exaggeration) anime figurine reseller Reservoir Dogs. One of the strangest, funniest, most unpredictable swings Kurosawa has maybe ever made, and it’s a credit to his formal skill that not only is the…

So I guess this is how you get to Hell. Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Cloud is a psychological thriller about a man named Yoshii, a factory worker who appears to be just your regular guy. However in his private time, rips off online shoppers to make a profit. He is essentially, a scalper. But his dealings becomes more ruthless and starts attracting the wrong kind of attention, soon he finds himself fighting for his life and to protect his illegal business. Cloud…

Creo que el mayor problema con esta película fue la dirección pobre que tuvo ( a pesar de ser dirigida por un director increíble). Un ejemplo de este problema es la ausencia total de musica, donde aparece solamente dos veces en la película y tiene un papel clave siempre. El guion y concepto están bastante bien pero creo que, para el director que es, tiene algunos aspectos que se deben mejorar

One of the most wildly unpredictable films I have ever seen. Honestly, the twists border on the nonsensical, but there are clues to a deeper meaning. I think the critical puzzle piece comes from a line of dialogue from Sano after Yoshii asked him why he was rescuing Yoshii. “I told you to call me if you need me.” I know the director has said (according to some reviews, though I am too lazy to confirm) that Sano is the…

There’s something about Kurosawa’s films that look so cool, it’s nothing flashy but it’s incredibly effective filmmaking. Some of the loudest and most haunting gun shots captured on screen since Heat. I’m glad in the depths of my unemployment I never resorted to becoming a reseller.

Cloud is very close to peak thriller filmmaking, in the same camp as other titans like Se7en and The Sixth Sense. The subtitles did not bother me at all; honestly, they added to the mystery. The film follows a young man who works a mundane factory job but, on the side, has made millions as a reseller. One day, when his manager asks him to take on more responsibility and move up, he makes the decision to follow his dreams…

Melkoisen epätasainen elokuva. Ensimmäinen puolisko petasi hyvää kritiikkiä nykyajan scalper-kulttuurin suuntaan. Toinen puolisko lähti puolestaan suoraviivaisemmin jännärielokuvaksi ja tuntui vähän jättävän aiheen puolitiehen. Temaattisesti ensimmäinen puolisko oli ehkä vähän kiinnostavampi, mutta valehtelisin, jos väittäisin viihtyneeni paremmin ennen elokuvan puoliväliä… Kyllä se niin vain on, että Kiyoshi Kurosawa tuon jännärigenren taitaa taitaa. Ihan hyvä leffa, mutta epätasaisuutensa takia ei ihan kanna kahden tunnin kestoa…

I’ve never seen a film as well made as it was ill-conceived. This movie was completely nonsensical — I almost wonder if Kiyoshi Kurosawa accidentally gave the script to himself to direct rather than the Coen brothers or someone else who could bring the actual tone the material wanted. Played vastly too straight and therefore ended up completely ludicrous and asinine. Even the action shoot em up segment was devoid of tension or engagement. And, to top it all off, he…

Добро пожаловать в японский ресейл Очередная очень хорошая лента Киëси Куросавы о погоне за прибылью и тем, куда это может привести. Сюжет хорош, хоть и местами, уверен, нарочито абсурдный. Экшен к концу тоже был недурный. Перестрелки мне понравились. В такой обстановке это вообще сильно добавляет своей атмосферы. В общем, очень хороший триллер

The most realistic shootout i think i have ever seen. Great depiction of regular people being put in an insane and violent situation. The first hour or so being almost horror was so cool, it constantly felt like someone was watching and following Yoshii. (The bus scene HOLYYY) Another great film by the GOAT.

what begins as a compelling refutation of the apocryphal “money buys happiness”—more broadly, an exploration of the deterioration of the individual in a late-stage capitalistic society—devolves into a mess of unentertaining “action”, if you could even call it that, littered with uninteresting dialogue, poor writing, and cringe acting. but, i guess such is expected from characters that are all losers. though, the ending is quite sad, the protagonist paying the ultimate price for his degeneracy and realizing that he is lost, yet it is so poorly written into the overall plot that it means nothing, nonsensical at best. at least the final spoken line is pretty cool.

my biggest gripe with this film is the unnecessary and over reliance on score. it takes away from any tension attempted to be built up to because it completely takes me out of the scenes. the film would genuinely be better without any music(or only diegetic), just putting you directly in the head of the unaware and very neurodivergent protagonist.

What a return to form this was. You tend to forget an active director’s craftmanship due to his excessive catalogues and genre bending projects. Kurosawa had mastered becoming casual with this throughout his career, even if I haven’t completed his works, I tend to forget how many there are and how many times he switches things up. It gets to a point when a director does this for most of his career that not only he develops a clear auteur…

Interesting and relevant premise but half the movie I was scratching my head over something bizarre that was finally recontextualized in the last 2 minutes of the film that did not pay off well and did not make me glad I’d sat confused for 2 hours.

I thought it was kind of odd that Yoshii went back to the house just to grab his hard drive after people were actively chasing him. But by the end of the movie, I started to understand that moments like that were meant to show how reselling had gradually become his only real priority even potentially more important than his own safety. My favorite character was the assistant. The assistant was a Rider thru and thru. I also found him…

Like Serpent’s Path, the film that this pulls the most direct elements from, this is indeed one of Kiyoshi’s bleakest (and least mystical) films but it’s also a great summation of the future he had been hinting toward over the 2 decades since Pulse. The nameless shadow syndicate that rescues Yoshii and urges him to focus solely on making bank. That transactional world where individual identity is reduced to coordinates and aliases, where who you actually are is meaningless, where…

Way more surrealist than I thought it was going to be. The problem is the presentation, which reads very boring by-the-numbers drama doesn’t let the material really shine. The acting was mostly fine with some fun stand outs, mostly members of the evil organization.

Every actor in this movie is a fractured being untethered from their actions and consequences driven by small petty desires all magnified by the interconnected/mediated digital age.

“Whether it’s real or fake doesn’t matter.” A genius film to make in the 2020s since it perfectly illuminates a newly discussed plague of capitalism: the reseller. Not be confused with a salesperson, who creates or distributes a legitimate product for a legitimate purpose (by legit I don’t necessarily mean good). These people latch onto the forced scarcity at the top of corporate production and pass off their sleazy line cutting as Robin Hood style brilliance… only instead of taking…

Breaking Bad, but for eBay. I looked up his username, Ratel – it’s Honey Badger! I think that Honey Badger would have been a better name for this movie.

And I’ll keep talking about it until he fixes it (I’m sure he’s reading this and taking careful…

Esse assistente dele parece ser só alegórico tb, alguém que o protege e guia para esse caminho maldito. Todo mundo é motivado por ganância. O “amigo” dele tava com inveja do sucesso…

I love how Kurosawa shoots decaying urban landscapes. He populates them with uncanny characters driven by poverty, desperation, resentment and greed and makes the whole thing feel like a nightmare.

Very relevant at how dark the internet can be, you never know what type of person is behind a screen. Shocked at the mixed reviews, because I think this was a certified 2 thumbs up. Dread and paranoia pear around every frame of this movie. My adrenaline was on a high for the last 40 minutes.

Film très pessimiste sur la société tel qu’on la connaît actuellement. Un métrage qui montre aussi que pour ce faire une place dans cette société il faut éradiquer la concurrence (dans le film la métaphore va même plus loin en montrant un personnage qui sème la mort pour réussir seul). Le film est donc assez glaçant bien que je n’ai pas été absorbé par l’histoire et la mise en scène de Kiyoshi Kurosawa à mon grand regret… enfin, ça se regarde et le discours du film est assez intéressant.

Не понравилось отсутствие пулевых отверстий как на объектах, так и на телах людей. Всё-таки для фильма, значительную часть хронометража которого занимают перестрелки, это огромный минус.

Kiyoshi continues to prove why he’s one of the better working filmmakers.

I found the first hour of setup excellent and was excited for it to take off in the 2nd/3rd acts. Unfortunately it mostly fell flat. The climax and action of the third act felt slow and uninteresting to watch, and the ending was a bit on the nose for me. It’s hard not to compare this to No Other Choice, both being commentaries on capitalism (and to a smaller extent technology) released in 2025 from Asian filmmakers. I think No Other Choice succeeded at being more entertaining and more of a black comedy which landed a lot better for me personally.

I’m utterly baffled by this movie. I get the unlikable protagonist, the rip-off and revenge plots, and the “we’re in too deep to get out now” mentality.
