Shoplifters - Spoiler Review - Racking Focus Podcast - Ep. 17
Episode description
This week John and Josiah brave the perils of wifi and video streaming to watch the 2018 film SHOPLIFTERS by respected Japanese director, Hirokazu Koreeda. We loved this movie but found it challenging to watch, both because of technical issues and the deep dive into common day Japanese culture. There is much to talk about this one, available on HULU as we publish. It received the Palme D'or at Cannes and was nominated for an Academy Award. It raises the question of what is a family and how does one proceed ethically when living in an economically difficult position. This is a puzzle box of love, relationship and theft.
