Hirokazu Kore-eda’s New Film “Sheep in the Box” Invited to the 79th Cannes Film Festival, Set for Domestic Release on June 10

Hirokazu Kore-eda’s new film 〈Sheep in the Box〉, invited by the Cannes Film Festival, has confirmed its release in theaters on June 10.

〈Sheep in the Box〉 is Kore-eda Hirokazu’s latest work, following 〈Nobody Knows〉, 〈Shoplifters〉, and 〈Monster〉, among others. Set in a near future, the film tells the story that unfolds as a family welcomes a humanoid that bears an uncanny resemblance to their late son. Invited to the Cannes Film Festival’s international competition this year, 〈Sheep in the Box〉 has since also confirmed its release in South Korea on June 10.

In addition, the film is building even more anticipation by unveiling a special video commemorating the official competition-section invitation for the 79th Cannes Film Festival. This video assembles Kore-eda Hirokazu’s past 22 years of Cannes entries as a single chronicle, from 〈Nobody Knows〉 through to this year’s 〈Sheep in the Box〉, capturing viewers’ attention.

Hirokazu Kore-eda’s new film 〈Sheep in the Box〉, which has set an unprecedented record with its 10th overall Cannes invitation and an astonishing 8th entry into the competition section, will be available in theaters starting June 10.
