PARIS—Japan's Palme d'Or winner Hirokazu Kore-eda unveiled his new movie 'Monster' at Cannes on Wednesday, May 17, a heartwarming tale despite its ominous title. Treating issues including bullying and domestic abuse, 'Monster' bears many hallmarks of Kore-eda's tender cinema about tough lives and unconventional families that already won him the top prize in Cannes in 2018 for 'Shoplifters.' 'Monster' begins as a disquieting tale of teacher-pupil harassment with a clear baddie, but judgments are swiftly revised as the film switches points of view.
