Kiyoshi Kurosawa's RETRIBUTION, starring Kôji Yakusho, Manami Konishi, Tsuyoshi Ihara, Hiroyuki Hirayama, Joe Odagiri, and Ryô Kase
(Posted In Asia Film News Horror )
Kiyoshi Kurosawa's latest movie is Retribution (current English working title). It's scheduled to première at the 39th Sitges - International Film Festival of Catalonia in Spain in October.
The screenplay for Retribution was written by Kurosawa. The movie apparently stars Kôji Yakusho, Manami Konishi, Tsuyoshi Ihara, Hiroyuki Hirayama, Joe Odagiri, and Ryô Kase.
Here's a synopsis for Retribution from the production: "Detective Yoshioka is haunted by the image of a woman in a red dress and caught in a terror that he himself might be a killer of the serial-killer case he chases after. Is his memory twisted? The grudge of the dead comes to this life and roar as 'Shriek' [former English working title] and this present life starts to shake."

I've found Kurosawa's recent output to be a bit lacking. LOFT, for example, is still a good film but it doesn't add anything new, it's just a retread of the same themes Kurosawa has dealt with before - and better - in other films.
