Kore-eda’s Robot Son and Grief | Global News

Hirokazu Kore-eda returns with his latest poignant film, “Sheep in the Box,” a near-future family drama about a grieving couple who commission a robot replica of their lost son, exploring grief, tech, and the invisible bonds that define us — all wrapped in a tender, deeply human story that echoes “The Little Prince.” Known for his intimate storytelling and hands-on directing, Kore-eda brings his signature sensitivity to this emotionally rich film, featuring a standout performance by young actor Rimu Kuwaki. He reflects on the responsibility of filmmaking, especially with child actors, and shares his humble, heartfelt view of cinema as a blessing — not just a profession. Now playing in theaters, it’s a quiet, powerful meditation on love, loss, and what we carry forward when the world feels too heavy to hold.
