The TVI Take
2018 Palme d'Or winner. Hirokazu Kore-eda's masterpiece about a Tokyo family of petty thieves whose bonds of choice prove stronger than blood.
Exceptional cognitive demands from the slow revelation of each character's backstory and the moral ambiguity of their chosen family. High educational value from the portrait of Japanese poverty and social invisibility. Quietly devastating.
