Nobody Knows , IQ Score 167/200

Hirokazu Kore-eda's 2004 film based on the actual 1988 Tokyo Sugamo child abandonment case, four children whose mother left them to fend for themselves in a Tokyo apartment. The structural commitment to letting the children's quiet day-to-day survival be the actual subject, and to Yūya Yagira's Cannes Best Actor performance, established the catalog's most-devastating early entry.
