Film description
Takuji Matsuoka leads a normal, fulfilling life. He has a family, teaches exclusive cooking classes, and is soon to have a chance to become head chef at a prestigious restaurant. A series of disturbing incidents during his lessons and a persistent sound he begins to hear, however, will cause his life to change drastically…
Evoking the atmosphere of the director’s greatest works, ”Chime” reminds us that a good horror is not about special effects, but about an idea and a precise command of cinematic language. In Kurosawa’s film, the threat lurks in the monotony of everyday life, enclosing and relentlessly crushing. Using the cool frames and soundscapes of the big city, the director subtly but consistently builds a world gradually permeated by icy fear and growing paranoia.
This screening will send shivers down your spine and remind everyone who the true king of world horror is.
