MONSTER (KAIBUTSU)
Film Center favorite Hirokazu Koreeda’s (BROKER, SHOPLIFTERS) MONSTER is a RASHOMON-esque mosaic of storytelling, with the master auteur weaving together three converging and diverging perspectives around a shared experience. When the reserved young Minato begins behaving strangely, his mother Saori suspects that his teacher Mr. Hori is to blame, but is met with silence and denials. To uncover the truth, MONSTER evolves through the eyes of Saori, Mr. Hori and finally, Minato. Koreeda again demonstrates his keen and compassionate talent for depicting the interiorities of children and the complexities of families in this tender and profound drama. Scored by the late, legendary composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. Film Center exclusive.
