Kiyoshi Kurosawa previously explored the dark side of the internet
with his early cult hit Pulse and continues in similar vein
with his latest dark thriller Cloud. The film stars Masaki Suda as Yoshi, an unscrupulous online seller of dodgy and
dangerous goods. When he becomes dogged by strange and sinister
occurrences, Yoshi begins to realise his victims may be coming for
him.
Kotone Furukawa and Daiken Okudaira also star.
Cloud is in UK/ROI cinemas from April 25th.
Check out the UK trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Ryosuke Yoshi (Masaki Suda, The Boy and the Heron) works at a small 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. Buy low, sell high - that’s all there is to it.
After renting a lakeside house outside the city, and starting a new life with his girlfriend, Akiko (Kotone Furukawa, Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy) and new assistant Sano (Daiken Okudaira), Yoshi’s reselling schemes appear to be going from strength to strength until unsettling incidents begin occurring consecutively around him. Suspicious vehicles roaming his vicinity, a broken window, stalking shadows, and online malice... A negative spiral of animosity gathers momentum, eventually taking physical form as a sinister mob of ex-victims organise. Their target is Yoshii, whose oblivious existence is rapidly torn apart...
