Another great newer film is "Cure" (1997). It's a horror movie, but there is something unique about this film. It's difficult to put your finger on what it exactly is though. It has a beautiful, but subtle visual style (as do all Kiyoshi Kurosawa movies), some extremely powerful scenes, great acting and the story does have a lot of well known elements, but it seems like the movie mostly plays with them, hinting at something different at the bottom of it altogether.
