3rd: Cloud – 3.5/5

“So many good Japanese films for a few years … Here, rather thriller: not really survey film rather hunt for. We are more on the side of Sam Peckinpah than Akira Kurosawa (unrelated namesake) … very interesting and daring.” By Jean Lubert2

“After Chime, Cloud confirms: Kurosawa is on fire. A disturbing film, moves, questions. Dark, beautiful, necessary and fabulously interpreted by Maaski Suda (not so often seen in France, apart from a small role of Asada) and the tales of Hamaguchi's chance: Kotone Furukawa.”
