Monster (2)

Monster
12A

When a son begins acting strangely a mother starts to demand answers from his teachers, in the latest from award-winning director, Hirokazu Kore-eda.
Drama • Dark • Suspenseful

Following on from his acclaimed features Shoplifters and Broker, legendary Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda presents us with another poetic, humanist drama.

There is some kind of darkness surrounding 11-year-old Minato (Soya Kurokawa), as his behaviour begins to shift at school, causing his mum Saori (Sakura Ando) to confront his teachers in order to discover the truth. Using the Rashomon parallel timeline technique, we watch the series of events unfold from different perspectives, broadening our understand on what might have happened, but holding its final secret until the end. 

Awarded the Best Screenplay at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, Monster features the last score from the late composer, Ryuichi Sakamoto.
