For this Sunday Kino Night, we’re starting with Monster (2023), the most recent film of renowned Japanese auteur Hirokazu Koreeda (Shoplifters [2018], Nobody Knows [2004]), and one of the most-acclaimed movies of 2023, currently ranked #142 on Letterboxd’s Top 250 films of all time. A mom discovers her kid is acting strangely, and suspects something happened at school; she interrogates his teacher, and a Rashomon-esque tangled web of truth emerges, wherein different characters remember events in differing ways. Who is correct? I guess we’ll find out. Sounds cool; let’s watch.

After that is The Fall (2006), a surreal fantasy about a guy in a hospital who tells a tale of an island of heroes, villains, and magic to a little girl in the bed next to his, to cajole her into retrieving pills for him. She lets her imagination runs wild, and soon, the tale starts to bleed into her reality. This film is by far the best-regarded work of Tarsem Singh, who is otherwise known for The Cell (2000) and Mirror Mirror (2012). Rave reviews across the board for this one, so let’s check it out.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
