SERPENT’S PATH (2024)

France, Japan, Belgium, Luxembourg | DCP | 2024 | 112 min. | French and Japanese with English subtitles
Director: Kiyoshi Kurosawa
Cast: Damien Bonnard, Kō Shibasaki, Mathieu Amalric
A father captures the man he believes is responsible for kidnapping his daughter, and holds him prisoner in a stark warehouse. As he pursues the truth of what happened to his child, he uncovers a disturbing criminal underworld. J-horror master Kurosawa’s remake of his unshakable 1998 chiller makes several intriguing revisions—including transplanting the action to contemporary France and significant changes to one of the main characters—while maintaining its harrowing core.
