That would be Monster (2024, by Hirokazu Kore-eda). It tells a story of how two young boys interact with the world when encountering, experiencing, with confusion, hesitation but also courage. Only for the story to unfold through shifting perspectives that reveal deeper truths about perception, empathy, and what it means to be a “monster.” The film blends mystery and emotional insight in a thoughtful exploration of family, childhood, and human complexity. It is also the starting point that encourage me to discover more Japanese director’s works. In all, I think it is a perfect example of what gap between reality and fantasy, surrealism, ambiguity and metaphor can achieve in a movie, which is a media that combines visuals and audio.
