Country: Japan
Directed by Hirokazu Koreeda
No doubt: Hirokazu Koreeda is one of my most favorite contemporary directors out there. I actually love almost every movie he ever made and "Shoplifters" is not an exception. His ability to present characters so real that you will not get surprised if you meet them next day on the street is really unique. But even more unique is the way that he touches, every time, the most sensitive part of your soul, your feelings, your memories, your traumas, your joys, talking somehow about your life too, restoring at the same time your faith to yourself and to humanity no matter how hard the world is. "What's love? What's family?" He asks in "Shoplifters" and when we feel deeply the answer we get emotional. Not an extremely interesting plot, not that much drama, nothing fancy, just superb cinematography that keep us captivated.
