Janus Films and Sideshow are set to release their psychological thriller CLOUD on VOD and digital platforms early next month, arriving on October 7th, 2025. The film world premiered at the 2024 Venice Film Festival and launched in US theaters on July 18th, 2025.
As with most Janus Films releases, the film is likely to premiere on The Criterion Channel day-and-date with its digital release, though no announcement has been made. We’ll post with any news.
Cloud is written and directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, and stars Masaki Suda, Kotone Furukawa, Daiken Okudaira, Amane Okayama, Yoshiyoshi Arakawa, Masataka Kubota, Yutaka Matsushige, Masaaki Akahori, Maho Yamada, Mutsuo Yoshioka, Yusei Mikawa, Toshihiro Yagi, Yoshiyuki Morishita, and Tetsuya Chiba.
The film follows Yoshii, an ambitious, yet directionless, young factory worker from Tokyo who side hustles in the murky realm of black market reselling, cheating buyers and sellers alike. After swindling his way into loads of cash, he becomes slowly disconnected to humanity, moving out of the city, shunning his girlfriend, and hiring a devoted assistant. But after a series of mysterious, sinister incidents occur, he begins to suspect his former victims could be plotting the ultimate revenge.
