Winner Palm d’Or – Cannes Film Festival, Official Selection NZIFF, Golden Globe nominee

Stuff – James Croot 4/5 Stars: “The cast are uniformly excellent, imbuing their complex, flawed characters with real humanity, while there’s a real sense of place and space created by Kore-eda’s use of hand-held cameras and natural lighting.”

A Japanese couple stuck with part-time jobs and hence inadequate incomes avail themselves of the fruits of shoplifting to make ends meet. They are not alone in this behaviour. The younger and the older of the household are in on the act.

The unusual routine is about to change from care-free and matter-of-fact to something more dramatic, however, as the couple open their doors to a beleaguered teenager. The reasons for the family and friends’ habit and their motivations come under the microscope.
