In Cloud, Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s new unnerving tech thriller, the titular cloud seems like it would be referring to the data cloud, where all our digital information goes to be stored.
And, 24 years later, Kurosawa returns to the techno-horror genre with Cloud, an eerie, lean noir thriller that charts an unnerving odyssey through the strange underworld of online resellers.
In Cloud, Yoshii (Masaki Suda) is an inconspicuous factory worker who moonlights as a reseller in his free time.
Like last year’s disturbingly revealing true-crime thriller Red Rooms, Cloud feels like a window into a ubiquitous evil.
With Cloud, Kurosawa simply peels back the curtain to expose the truly rotten core of our digital society.
