Kore-eda Hirokazu breaks away from his usual family dramas with a contemplative exploration into the Japanese legal system and capital punishment. Not long after being released for committing a double murder, Misumi is arrested again for killing his former boss. The death penalty seems certain, but his defender, Shigemori, and his colleagues are sure that they can reduce their client's sentence. However, Shigemori discovers evidence that exposes his client's confession as a lie. Why did Misumi lie, and who is he trying to protect? A patient, engrossing mystery about the fluid and murky nature of truth, The Third Murder is refreshing change of pace that will surprise and challenge even Kore-eda's most passionate fans.
