The Grief Machine: What "Sheep in the Box" Reveals About Our Relationship with Technology Hirokazu Kore eda's latest film, "Sheep in the Box," has premiered at Cannes to a 3. 5 minute standing ovation.
This is not surprising given the director's reputation for crafting nuanced, deeply human dramas that explore the complexities of family and relationships.
With this film, however, Kore eda boldly departs from his previous work, venturing into science fiction to probe the boundaries between parenthood, grief, and what it means to be human in a world increasingly dominated by machines.
