Exploring the Complexities of Childhood Bullying in Hirokazu Kore-eda's 'Monster' - Cannes Review
TL;DR
Hirokazu Kore-Eda's latest film, Monster, is a return to his Japanese storytelling roots and a family-centered drama that explores the lasting effects of grief and the walls we build for ourselves. The film employs a Rashomon-style to flesh out details and uncover layers of truth, with superb casting and a moving final musical score from the late great composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. Monster is Kore-Eda's seventh film in the main Cannes competition and his ninth overall.
