Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-Eda’s seventh go-round in Cannes competition, Monster, received a six-minute standing ovation Wednesday in the Grand Theatre Lumiere.

He won the Palme d’Or back in 2018 for Shoplifters. Can he do it again? Kore-Eda spoke in Japanese: “Thank you. Some people couldn’t be here.

Can’t wait to go back to Japan and show them the film…tell them about this absolutely wonderful premiere. It will stay in my heart.” It’s the filmmaker’s ninth movie overall at the fest (counting two that appeared in Un Certain Regard).

Monster is his first movie since his 1995 debut feature Maborosi that the director has not had a screenplay credit on.
