The film is Kore-eda's second in competition since winning the top prize at Cannes, after his Korean-language entry"Broker" lost out last year to"Triangle of Sadness" by Swedish director and this year's Cannes jury president Ruben Ostlund.Kore-eda also brought Oscar winner Ryuichi Sakamoto on board to compose a soundtrack critics praised as particularly moving. The film is the last that Sakamoto, who died in March 2023 at age 71, worked on.
