One of the most painfully lovely films of last year, Monster is a moving reminder of the importance of empathy and understanding.
With a simple premise but endless complexity, Monster sees Hirokazu Kore-eda’s compassion and empathy presented at such a masterful level.
In Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Shoplifters, a family of small-time crooks take in a child they find on the street.
