Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "CURE"

Has anyone ever seen this flick? I just watched it on import DVD last night, and it was a great j-horror movie. As standard fare with japanese movies, it didn't explain much, but was still good nonetheless. It's by Kiyoshi Kurosawa (no relation to Akira), a guy who churns out about 3 movies per year!! Anyone seen any others by him?

here's the movie review, but warning - plot spoilers:

I'm big fan of Kyoshi Kurosawa even if it's hard to keep up with all his movies. I actually met the guy in Paris in 1997.
Cure is imho his best movie, but i havent' seen everything. I heard that Barren illusions is also very good. His last one, Doppelganger has a good reputation too.
Stay away from Brigt Future, it's really boring. Lots of people are going to tell you that it's really brilliant without being able to understand it themselves. It's pretentious and it reminds me of a french saying that would translate as "farting above his own ass".
Anyway, he made a lot of horror flicks that are really interesting, Kairo (pulse), Eye of the spider, Séance to name a few. He's a teacher at the tokyo film school and he's spawning a new kind of directors as we speak. Shimizu, the guy that directed and wrote Ju-on and Ju-on 2 was Kyoshi Kurosawa's student for exemple.
