Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda discusses his latest film, Monster, which explores the impact of family dynamics and societal pressures on individuals. The film, which won awards at the Cannes Film Festival, delves into the difficulties faced by single mothers and the damage caused by traditional gender roles in Japanese society. Kore-eda's films often depict the absence or death of a family member and the resulting changes in family dynamics. Monster also addresses the breakdown in communication and distorted perceptions in today's world, exacerbated by the impact of COVID-19. The film features a soundtrack composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto, whose final album, 12, was used for the score. [Extracted from the article]
