What it is about
An early B-movie thriller by Kiyoshi Kurosawa.
Fujimaru, a former sumo wrestler, is hired as a security guard. He had committed murder in the past but was acquitted after a psychiatric evaluation. Meanwhile, Akiko, a former curator hired for art transactions, leads a busy life. Amidst all this, Fujimaru murders a colleague, gradually revealing his descent into madness…
With limited A3 movie poster.
What to expect
Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s 1992 B-movie, screening as part of the InDPanda series. Fujimaru, a former sumo wrestler acquitted of murder on psychiatric grounds, takes a job as a security guard—then a colleague turns up dead. The movie runs on deadpan unease: Yutaka Matsushige plays the guard as a man whose placid surface never quite cracks, even as the violence around him escalates. The low-budget production keeps the focus tight on character and claustrophobic interiors rather than set pieces, which suits the material but won’t win over anyone looking for conventional horror beats. At 97 minutes, it’s a compact, odd-duck entry in Kurosawa’s early filmography. Japanese with English and Chinese subtitles. The InDPanda slot means a limited, festival-style release—check listings for session times.
