“People like us billow up around Ratel… like clouds.” 🌩 Blue Finch Films has unveiled an official UK trailer for Cloud, the unconventional Japanese thriller made by acclaimed filmmaker Kiyoshi Kurosawa (also of XX). We posted two original Japanese trailers for this last year during its premiere at the 2024 Venice Film Festival (one of my favorites of the fest). It’s now set for an April 2025 release in UK cinemas, but still has no US release date confirmed yet. The title Cloud is a reference to the digital space known as the cloud, as it’s a peculiar horror story about how hatred spreads online. Yoshii, a young man who resells goods online by flipping cheap products for high prices, finds himself at the center of a series of mysterious events that put his life at risk. Online threats against him start to become real. The film stars Masaki Suda, Kotone Furukawa, Daikan Okudaira, Okayama Amane, Yoshiyoshi Arakawa, & Masataka Kubota. The film is less of a horror, more of an action thriller, with some mysterious elements that build up as it goes on. Hopefully more and more people will catch up with this once it’s released this year – it’s an underrated gem. // Continue Reading ›
