Izumi Matsuoka

When a man attempts to catch a serial killer to collect a reward and provide for his family, his daughter fears the worst after he suddenly vanishes.

Before winning the Palm D’Or with Shoplifters, Hirokazu Koreeda directed this crime thriller filled with nuance and complexity. Defying genre conventions, its whodunit aspect quickly makes room for a deeper exploration of truth, memory and the power of stories that we tell ourselves and others.
