Drama. Japan 2018, 121 min. Directed by Hirokazu Koreeda. Starring: Kirin Kiki, Lily Franky, Sôsuke Ikematsu, Sakura Andô, Mayu Matsuoka. In Japanese with Russian subtitles. “Shoplifters” is a film by today’s leading Japanese director, Hirakazu Koreeda, which won this year’s Palme d’Or at Cannes – the biggest award in the film world. A subtle and multi-faceted story about a family and the nature of kinship – which is not always connected with blood relations – set by the director on the outskirts of Tokyo. Here lives a company of rakish thieves that have forged themselves a family and who are taking care of an abandoned girl at the beginning of the film. "Shoplifters", modest and seemingly traditionally filmed (though this quiet film is actually radical in terms of its most important message), is an aesthetic shape-shifter: it is a musing on social mores which often are in direct conflict with actually goodness, and a family film, and an attempt to figure out what familial love really is, and on what basis people will be connected in the future.
