In this Palme d’Or classic, the film focuses on a struggling, flawed, family and their fondness for theft. The film accelerates when the family kidnaps (adopts) five-year-old Yuri. The renown director Kore-eda has that Midas touch, exploring the subject of morality, trust, and guilt with such charm that it belies the sad underlying theme. Lily Franky, Sakura Ando and Mayu Matsuoka star.
