Winner of the Queer Palm and Best Screenplay at Cannes, Hirokazu Kore-eda’s intricately structured drama delves into the fragility of boyhood. Bookended by fires and storms, delicate feelings of anger, confusion, and love swell through an exquisite final score from the late maestro Ryuichi Sakamoto.

Japanese master of the macabre Kiyoshi Kurosawa brings his incantatory gift for creeping dread to the small screen with this sinuous miniseries. An eerie, pungently atmospheric interrogation of historical trauma, Penance is a devastating psychological thriller that ratchets up tension from the jump.
