2. CURE by Kiyotaka Kurosawa
A string of shocking, seemingly unmotivated murders-each committed by a different person yet all bearing the same grisly hallmarks- leads detective Takabe (Koko Yakusho) into a labyrinth investigation to discover what connects them, and into a disturbing game of cat and mouse with an enigmatic amnesiac (Masato Hayward) who may be evil incarnate.   Awash in hypnotic dread, Cure is a tour de force of psychological tension and a hallucinatory journey into the darkest recesses of the human mind.  1997, 111 minutes
