Kaibutsu

© Viennale

A single mother notices a change in her son's behavior and wonders what could be the cause. She soon identifies incidents at his school as the cause and storms off to the principal to demand justice. Kore-eda's new film takes an alternating look at the events - from the perspective of the mother, the teacher and finally the children - and gradually sheds light on the mysterious situation. Highly recommended!
