Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKoreeda said that all the characters in the film, to some degree, are imprisoned by invisible walls. "The mother is restricted by social norms, and the teacher is restricted by his manhood, as well as the school system. And the children are living in this world that the adults have created and they are affected by it, in terms of the violence that is perpetrated upon them. Yet they are able to escape it. It's as if the adults have been left behind, and the children have gone ahead and come to their own self-realization. I wanted it to be a positive realization."
Featured review
Lovingly detailed and accented by an aching score from Ryuichi Sakamoto, who died in March, Monster is one of the finest films of the year, and its structure - like its circle of characters - carries secrets that can only be unraveled through patience and empathy. By cutting things up and showing us the perils of fractured perspectives, the director, demonstrates that compassion is more than just a natural state of being. This absorbing, ambiguously titled movie builds to a moving finish, one that reaffirms Kore-eda's peerless skill at directing young actors in particular..
My Rating : 8.5/10.
