"One film (SERPENT'S PATH) is an 85-minute late-’90s revenge thriller built from long takes, procedural cruelty, and the deadening logic of violence. The other (CHIME) is a 45-minute modern horror piece that seems to corrode reality from the inside out. But both are recognizably Kurosawa ... A 130-minute program feels like exactly the right way to encounter them." - The Playlist
