• Danger's Where The Money Is

  I'll ask here because this might be the only place with a possibility of finding answer, but does anyone know anything about where/how to view Hirokazu Kore-eda's Monster? Unfortunately I don't live near any of the major cities where it was playing as a part of such film festivals

    Doesn't look like Kaibutsu's been released internationally yet. Hadn't heard of it but love Koreeda, so thanks for the tip!

    Japan's copyright laws are outrageously anti-consumer, the large anime and voiceover industry is fiercely defensive of its IP and piracy isn't that big there owing to these draconian rules and generally compliant populace. As a result, it can be really hard to find Japanese movies/TV/anime/games through alternative means. I'll PM you if I find Monster online anywhere soon though.

      Sounds good.

      I've actually had a pretty good run of Kore-eda physical releases weirdly. Most are UK releases except for the Australian Broker release. I saw Broker at a film festival last year, but it may have had the advantage of riding the "Korean film" popularity wave

        Yeah, makes sense. Still, good to see the two countries working together to maximise the strengths of Japan's meticulous auteur approach and Korea's Hollywood influence and therefore broader mainstream appeal. Haven't seen Broker yet though, any good? Haven't watched the last few Koreedas since The Truth, but loved I Wish (2011) and his earlier ones.

          @Meconium: I mean, I liked Broker. I also liked The Truth, but apparently that's an unpopular opinion.

          My favourites are Still Walking, Like Father Like Son, After Life and Our Little Sister, but I've genuinely liked or loved all the 13 I've seen from him
