The Third Murder

Hirokazu Koreeda20172h 4mPsychological thriller, Crime, Drama

Why we chose it

Hirokazu Koreeda made this courtroom drama a year before “Shoplifters” conquered Cannes, and he shows you the murder in the very first minute. For the next two hours you won’t believe your own eyes, because the killer has confessed but keeps changing his story. Is justice just a matter of paperwork?

Synopsis

The case is lost before the lawyer even takes it on. His client, accused of murder and theft, has already confessed, and the crime carries the death penalty. Yet the further the lawyer digs into what happened, the less sure he becomes that the man he’s defending really killed anyone.
