After discovering that a teacher may be responsible for her young son's sudden change of behaviour, single mother Saori storms into the school demanding to know what's going on.
As the story unfolds through the eyes of the mother, teacher and child, the shocking truth gradually emerges.
Mysterious and deeply moving, Monster is a breathtaking piece of cinema from master director Hirokazu Kore-eda (Broker, Shoplifters), revealing a timely tale of family, false impressions, and ultimately, hope. Kore-eda's typically sensitive story features powerful performances, and a sublime final score from the late, Oscar-winning composer, Ryuichi Sakamoto (The Revenant, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence).
