Our Next Film

Friday 9 January 2026

Monster

12 | Japan | 2023 | Japanese, subtitled | 125 mins

Director: Hirokazu Kore-eda
Part of the Main Season
After a school incident, a mother demands answers—but the truth morphs with each perspective. Hirokazu Kore-eda crafts a multi-layered narrative exploring bullying, misunderstanding, and identity, unraveling a tale where nothing is as it seems, and the real “monster” might surprise you.
