Asia Cine-Club: Monster (怪物) (2023)
🗓 Tuesday, July 14 | ⏰ Doors: 6PM | 🎬 Film: 8PM | 📍 TicTic, Phnom Penh
Directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda and featuring a screenplay by Yuji Sakamoto with a final score by the late Ryuichi Sakamoto, Monster begins with what appears to be a troubling incident involving a young schoolboy and his teacher. As the story unfolds through multiple perspectives, assumptions are challenged and hidden truths gradually emerge.
Winner of Best Screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival, Monster is a deeply compassionate exploration of childhood, family, bullying, identity, and the limitations of perception. Kore-eda once again demonstrates his remarkable ability to uncover profound emotional truths through seemingly ordinary lives, creating one of the most celebrated Japanese films of recent years.
“A moving and masterfully constructed drama.”
— Variety
“Kore-eda’s finest film in years.”
— The New Yorker
🎟 Free Entry & Popcorn – Arrive early for sofa, bed, or beanbag seating.
