As the film progresses, it challenges our notions of who is the victim and the aggressor, re-telling the story from different perspectives. It revisits many of the themes of Kore-eda’s previous films – treatment of children, family dynamics and how normal households reflect larger problems in society.
The two boys, Kurokawa and Hiiragi, were both cast through auditions. Kore-eda says that in his previous films, he would verbally teach the child actors their lines, whereas he worked differently with these two young actors whom he found preferred to read and memorize the script. He also feels this approach may have been more appropriate, as both characters face complex issues, so it was more important they could actually act rather than play versions of themselves.
The idea to collaborate with Ryuichi Sakamoto came to Kore-eda while he was shooting the film. During the evenings, by the shores of a lake where the crew were staying, he could hear Sakamoto’s piano music playing in his head. They’d been working on a project together some nine years previously that never came together. But he hesitated to ask him now as he knew he was in the later stages of his illness.
