Welcome back. As part of our continuing 90's Neo-noir series, we're taking a look at Kiyoshi Kurosawa's 1997 masterpiece, CURE, staring Koji Yakusho, Masato Hagiwara, Tsuyoshi Ujiki, and Anna Nakagawa.
Yakusho stars as Takabe, a detective unraveling a series of brutal murders, each marked by an "X" carved into the victims' bodies. The only link: a mysterious drifter. Kurosawa, ever the genre anti-stylist, contorts the noir framework into something eerily familiar yet unsettlingly alien, crafting one of the most mesmerizing and psychologically abrasive thrillers ever made.
CURE, often hailed as a pioneer of the J-horror wave, is an undeniable classic. In this episode, we'll get to the bottom of why that is.

Welcome to the Exposure Cinema Podcast. In this episode, the first in our 90's Neo-noir series, we'll be talking a bit about Hype Williams' 1998 classic BELLY. The film has now been rightfully reclaimed as challenging, complex, and undeniable piece within both Black and Neo-noir cinema, but it hasn't always been that way. We'll talk about the film's style, narrative structure, and what exactly has made this elusive, disorienting and staggeringly beautiful film so enduring.
