Incredible list. Lots of stuff here that I love and vibe very hard with. Most hidden feeling treasure being Cure, incredible - I wonder if you have seen 'Creepy' also by Kurosawa? And I was 'that guy' who passed Martyrs around to my Film Studies class... I remember when that used to happen and the chain would clot pretty quick and your dvd would be lost forever, but everyone was keen to get that film out of their house and on to the next person to share in the suffering. And you ended on Visitor Q!!?! Yesss. 🥹- nearly 20 years ago I thought I saw a possible feminist theme buried in the metaphor of this one, and argued the case in an auteur study that earned me a prize haha.
