Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, this Oscar nominee is a unique and moving drama about family life.
A young girl is found freezing in an alleyway at the beginning of brilliant Japanese director Kreeda Hirokazu’s (‘Like Father, Like Son’, ‘I Wish’) new film. Osamu takes her home and she soon becomes a part of the extended family. But who are they all and what kind of world have they made for themselves? Like his previous films, Koreeda explores the very notion of family, one in which a stranger might be a more suitable parent than a biological mother of father.
★★★★ "A rich, satisfying film." - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
★★★★★ "Hirokazu Kore-eda's Palme d'Or winner is a thrilling, beautiful tale of Toyko's down-and-outs." - Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
