The Films of Kiyoshi Kurosawa: Master of Fear

Here is the first book in English about Japan’s modern master of fear and horror. The book traces Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s humble beginning in the pink film industry through his evolution into yakuza movie director and the celebrated filmmaker of gripping works like Cure and Pulse. Included are essays on twenty-five films, a filmography, and a sit-down interview. An excellent guide to one of Japan’s freshest cinematic masters.
