ときめきに死す (1984) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 1984, ときめきに死す is a drame, policier and horreur film directed by Yoshimitsu Morita, running about 105 minutes.

What it’s about. Deaths in Tokimeki tells the disturbing, compulsive story of a hit-man waiting to carry out a job: the assassination of the leader of a religious cult, masterminded by the leader's own deputy. But it is a story that is told in blocks, like the phrases in a child's computer game, and what counts most is not the narrative but the spaces between the blocks-the gaps that are filled with undefined menaces as potent as anything in Lovecraft.

Who’s in it. ときめきに死す stars Kenji Sawada as Naoya Kudo, Kanako Higuchi as Hiromi Kozue, Naoki Sugiura as Yosuke Okura and Haruko Katō as Otae-san, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.0/10, ときめきに死す has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
