The film this evening takes place at Chapman Hall, 100 Training Hill Road, Middlesex Community College.
Shoplifters (Japan, 2018, directed by Hirokazu Koreeda, 121 mins.)
After one of their shoplifting sessions, Osamu and his son come across a little girl in the freezing cold. At first reluctant to shelter the girl, Osamu's wife agrees to take care of her after learning of the hardships she faces. Although the family is poor, barely making enough money to survive through petty crime, they seem to live happily together until an unforeseen incident reveals hidden secrets, testing the bonds that unite them.
Speaker: Scott Aalgaard, Assistant Professor of East Asian Studies, Wesleyan University
