Kudo delivers an unhurried atmospheric neo-noirish vehicle for Yusaku Matsuda, radically undone of any form of tension.

In this modern era of boutique distribution, it is a genuine pleasure to discover these sorts of obscure, previously unknown features and expand one’s understanding of cinema from around the world.

The film is one that deserves to be seen at least once and many will want to see it many times over to pour over the details in the story, the characters, and the background elements.
