Monster sees Kore-eda once again team up with actor Sakura Ando, who starred in his 2018 Palme d'Or winner Shoplifters. The film is Kore-eda's second in competition since winning the top prize at Cannes, after his Korean-language entry "Broker" lost out last year to Triangle of Sadness by Swedish director and this year's Cannes jury president Ruben Ostlund.Kore-eda also brought Oscar winner Ryuichi Sakamoto on board to compose a soundtrack critics praised as particularly moving. The film is the last that Sakamoto, who died in March 2023 at age 71, worked on.
Kore-eda and his cast took to the red carpet at Cannes on Wednesday night for the premiere of their film, which critics praised for its clever structure and atmospheric setting. "Viewers will respond to the touching chords of a drama which is about how monsters – the human kind – are often only a matter of perspective," wrote trade publication
