 In suspense maverick Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s (CURE, PULSE) stylish, subversive new thriller, Yoshii, a factory worker from Tokyo has a side hustle in the murky realm of black market reselling. After swindling his way into a windfall, Yoshii disconnects from humanity, moving out of the city, shunning his girlfriend, and entrusting duties to his devoted new assistant. Before long, his life is plagued by a series of mysterious, sinister incidents that threaten to upend his success and bring about a most violent demise. Masterfully bringing simmering tension to a bloody crescendo, Kurosawa delivers a searing portrait of digital greed and vengeance.
