DEAD MAIL
A kidnap victim manages to post a message which ends up in the hands of a diligent midwestern clerk whose speciality is dealing with inadequately addressed mail. The world of 1980s pioneering synthesizer tech collides, violently, with post office procedural in this offbeat indie thriller with a Coen brothers vibe.
CLOUD
Ryôsuke makes vast profits reselling goods online, but the victims of his avarice have organised, and are plotting revenge. The director of Cure and Kairo shifts gears mid-film, from creepy techno-thriller to gung-ho shoot-em-up, in an ironic critique of late capitalism and the enshittification of internet commerce.
RUMOURS
Leaders of the G7 democracies meet up during a global crisis to cobble together a statement, but instead get lost in the woods where they encounter undead bog people and a giant brain. Cate Blanchett plays the German Chancellor in a surreal black farce of government ineptitude in the face of impending apocalypse.
