HAZE

Haze is a 2005 Japanese thriller written, directed and starring Shinya Tsukamoto.

A man (Tsukamoto) wakes up in a tight dark place that looks like a tiny concrete room, where he can barely move. He seems to be suffering from amnesia and he doesn't know why he is there or how he got there. As he starts feeling his body, he realizes he has a stomach injury and he is slowly bleeding. He decides he has to get out of there and begins to explore around the narrow chambers of his concrete prison; he crawls around the labyrinth-like room, until he can finally arrive to a place that seems to stink of rotting corpses. There the man meets a woman who has just awaken in his same circumstances; both of them decide that they have to get out of there even if they can't recall where they came from. At some points, however, their little and blurry memories are so uncertain that they are not even sure whether or where they want to return. As their path seems to be leading nowhere, the man appears to be ready to give up but the woman keeps encoraging him and insists on going forward. While they crawl across the narrow chambers and between the walls, neither of them can even think of what sort of end to their journey they will have.
