Many years from now, a dangerous pollen will fall all over Tokyo. In this age, two people decides to become guinea pigs for a new drug that may prove to be the cure for this new epidemic.
Barren Illusions is a fairly unknown film, and has probably been seen mostly by those who are willing to dig in the filmography of the fantastic director Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Cure, Pulse). This movie was made by Kurosawa with help from many of his film student. The plot rarely shows its face, and we're left with a man and a woman who must face the consequences of trying to help others. It's very minimalistic and mysterious. Not for everyone but interesting for those who wish to see some early work by one of Japan's most interesting contemporary directors.
Genre: Drama/Romance
