★★★★★ Review: Monster 怪物 dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda

A monster is often imagined to be a singular, bestial creature bringing terror to all in its vicinity, a wickedness and intentionality behind its cruelty that warrants a hero to vanquish it. Yet, monsters are not born but made, where behind every action is a reason, to the extent that we wonder – is it possible … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: Monster 怪物 dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda
