What the press thinks:

According to the cinema sheets:

“The least for the best for Kiyoshi Kurosawa who, with almost nothing (a macabre premise, Ikea furnishings and primal fears), composes a brilliant means that carrot the depths of the human soul and questions our modern treble and clinical era.” By Clément Deleschaud – 5/5

According to Cahiers du Cinéma:

“Chime's cuisine is invested as a cold and anthracite arena. The compositions insist on the void separating the bodies, the rigid gestures of the apprentices whose faces (especially that of the young stunned suicidal) connect with little inserts on the refined dishes.” By Yal Sadat – 4/5

According to Cinemateaser:

“However, Chime creates strong emotions, an undeniable discomfort that one feels by the power of his deadly images – carnivorous smiles, absurd behaviors, torves – or virtuoso plans. We sometimes surprise ourselves in apnea.” By Aurélien Allin – 4/5

According to L'Obs:

“This little Haiku-shaped film (45 minutes) combines as often in his work, aistered horror and underlying melancholy in an urban environment-the great subject of Kurosawa, Japanese emulator of Antonioni.” By Guillaume Loison – 4/5

According to the Sunday Journal:

“Here is the new nightmare of Kiyoshi Kurosawa, who concentrates the quintessence of his art in a terrifying medium film with an episode of” the fourth dimension “, to discuss the burnout and the drive to kill.” By Stéphanie Belpêche – 4/5

According to Le Parisien:

“This very intriguing and remarkably filmed horrifying medium film is signed by the Japanese master Kiyoshi Kurosawa, to the very prolific filmography, and to whom we owe the fascinating” Cure “(1997) and” Kaïro “(2001).” By Renaud Baronian – 4/5

According to Inrockuptibles:

“The Japanese reconnects with the great hours of its cinema and manages to translate contemporary social discomfort and its existential pangs with striking precision.” By Ludovic Béot – 4/5

According to Critikat.com:

“More enigmatic than Kairo (Kurosawa's film that we think most here), Chime is mainly worth for his formal experiments and his way of representing the emergence of evil.” By Adrien Mitterrand -Munch – 3/5
