The Third Murder (original title: 三 度 目 の 殺人 , Sandome no Satsujin , Eng . "The Third Murderer") is a Japanese film by Hirokazu Koreeda from 2017 .
action
At the beginning you see the murder of a man who is robbed, doused with gasoline and then burned.
The murderer Misumi has to defend himself in court with the help of the lawyer Shigemori. Since Misumi was sentenced to murder twice 30 years ago, this time he faces the death penalty. Misumi is increasingly entangled in contradictions and claims that she can no longer remember exactly. For example, he claims to have been commissioned by the murdered person's wife to receive the contributions from the life insurance. For those involved in the process who want to know the truth, this situation is becoming increasingly unbearable.
criticism
“In 2013, Koreeda told a story of biological and social identity in Like Father, Like Son . He is now following this up with The Third Murder , because here, too, a sociological interest is combined with a fundamental reflection on references to reality. The director would have to be counted among the greats of Japanese cinema for a long time, were it not for this fundamental understatement in his films, which focuses everything on the audience's concentration ”
