VIFF Special Presentation: Shoplifters

Still_Shoplifters

VIFF favourite Kore-eda is back with the top prize-winner from Cannes 2018. Shoplifters is a bittersweet story of love and crime, tear-jerking and provocative in equal measure. Where would little Yuri (Sasaki Miyu) be better off: her family home, where she’s abused, or with a ragtag family of petty criminals? That family, headed by Osamu (Lily Franky) and his wife Nobuyo (Ando Sakura), seems like the better choice, but that’s not the end of the story… “A rich, satisfying film.”—Guardian
