Chime - 2024 - 6/10
AKA - Chairmu // チャイム

Takuji teaches cooking skills. Most, not all, want to learn to be better cooks.
One student is not there; he attends, but is distracted, removed, remote.
Takuji is also being interviewed to become head chef for a French restaurant.

He has lost all interest … in everything.
Violence seems an outlet, while the malaise spreads to others.
Director Kiyoshi Kurosawa has a history of moody dramas, tinged with the unexplained.
