Leo Barraclough International Features Editor Kiyoshi Kurosawa‘s thriller “Cloud,” which has its world premiere in an out-of-competition berth at Venice Film Festival, is debuting its trailer (below).
International sales are being handled by Nikkatsu, and Minerva has picked up Italian distribution rights. Kurosawa’s festival trophies include the Cannes Un Certain Regard jury prize for “Tokyo Sonata” (2008), the Un Certain Regard award for best director for “Journey to the Shore” (2015), and Venice’s Silver Lion for best director for “Wife of a Spy” (2020).
Hunting for a subject for an action film six years ago, Kurosawa’s attention was drawn to the online world. He says: “In the obscure corners of modern-day Japan, violent incidents sometimes occur for seemingly no reason whatsoever.
When the causes are investigated, it becomes apparent that a system of sorts exists through which petty grudges and frustrations are accumulated and blown out of proportion by the internet.” The film centers on Ryosuke Yoshii, played by Masaki Suda, who works at a factory and makes money on the side as a reseller operating under the pseudonym “Ratel.” He deals in medical devices, handbags, figurines… anything he can flip to make a profit.
