Monster (2023, Japan)

Director: Hirokazu Kore-eda

Writer: Yuji Sakamoto

Mini-review:

Monster is the type of movie-magic that only happens when the very best talents in each field come together. We have Hirozaku Kore-eda's masterful directing, Yuji Sakamoto's humane and intelligent writing, Ryuichi Sakamoto's magical score, and brilliant performances from some of the best actors in the world. And I'm not referring only to legends like Sakura Ando, Eita Nagayama and Yuko Tanaka, whose work here is as incredible as expected. In fact, newcomers Soya Kurokawa and Hinata Hiiragi are the ones who truly carry the movie, giving two of the best child performances I've ever seen. No other filmmaker in the world can choose and direct child actors like Kore-eda, and he proves it once again here. Beyond that, Sakamoto's script displays the beautiful complexity that characterizes his writing. He builds this haunting, heart-tugging mystery piece by piece, in a way that only he could. Tbh, I accidentally discovered the big twist when the film premiered at Cannes. But, while I believe the twist would have floored me in the best of ways if I had watched it without knowing anything, I still found myself enthralled while seeing the story unfurl. That being said, I still recommend not reading anything about the movie before watching it. To sum up, I thank the universe for gathering all these incredible people so they could make something as special as Monster.

Monster (dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda) x VIFF 2023.

The real "monster" was the snap judgments and assumptions we made along the way. Kore-ada once again chooses compassion through understanding in his nuanced portrayal of children experiencing trauma and conflict as he unfolds his touching melodrama from three shifting character perspectives (not unlike Rashomon). It's a soulful portrait of youth with adults struggling to understand strange behaviour in children.

Screened at the 2023 Vancouver International Film Festival as part of the Special Presentations series.
