Keep An Eye Out, Hong Sangsoo. Your difference as one of the most respected supervisor functioning today is being tested. It’s been almost 4 years given that Kiyoshi Kurosawa last launched a movie with 2020’s Better half of a Spy, however in 2024, the Japanese supervisor will offset wasted time, premiering a triad of brand-new films.
As included in our 2024 sneak peek, he reprise his very own movie with Snake’s Course, starring Damien Bonnard, Mathieu Amalric, Grégoire Colin, and Ko Shibasaki. Prior to that attribute establishes its premiere, his 45-minute thriller Chime will debut at Berlinale this month. Now, a 3rd 2024 movie has actually been revealed with Cloud.
Display Daily reports he’s currently completed firing the task, with the very first still included over, and is in the modifying procedure with a Japanese launch prepared for this September. Backed by Nikkatsu Company and Tokyo Theatres Firm Inc., the Kurosawa- scripted task celebrities The Young boy and the Heron‘s Masaki Suda as Ryosuke Yoshii, described as “an enigmatic young man who tries to make money by reselling shrewdly obtained goods on the internet under the pseudonym ‘Ratel’”
“In the obscure corners of modern-day Japan, violent incidents sometimes occur for seemingly no reason whatsoever,” Kurosawa stated in a declaration. “When the causes are investigated, it becomes apparent that a system of sorts exists through which petty grudges and frustrations are accumulated and blown out of proportion by the internet. I wondered if such a phenomenon would serve as subject matter for an action film and began developing this project.”
He included, “The protagonist is an extremely average man who, through his small-time moneymaking schemes, desires to gain even the slightest advantage over others. In this story, he carelessly incurs the ire of those around him, and ultimately finds himself dragged into a deadly battle with his life on the line.”
With a September launch in the jobs, we question if Kurosawa can strike the ultra-rare trifecta of having a movie premiere at Berlinale, Cannes, and Venice in one year.
