Random people keep turning up gruesomely murdered, their placid killers unaware of having done the deed. The unrelated victims sport an “x” carved deep into their throats. From that premise, Japanese dread master Kiyoshi Kurosawa weaves one of the great modern psychological thrillers and perhaps his deepest meditation on the loneliness of modern urban life. -Lee Gardner
