A petty crime has big consequences in this highly suspenseful new thriller from master Kiyoshi Kurosawa.
Ryōsuke Yoshii has it all. He buys cheap stuff and sells it online for a far higher price. He has a beautiful girlfriend and moves to a luxurious home in a Tokyo suburb. But his actions come with consequences.
Kiyoshi Kurosawa, the brilliant director of Pulse (Kairo) and Cure, returns with this eccentric crime thriller that turns online shopping into a source of suspense. In Kurosawa’s films, evil takes the shape of the unexpected, and Cloud is no exception. Revenge and loyalty are the underlying themes in this unpredictable and nuanced story about an e-salesman without principles. When the people Yoshii exploited band together online, the internet feeds their fury. An excellent exploration of moral duality that leaves us guessing to the end: who's the hero, and who’s the victim here?
