Our second trip across the South China Sea, we arrive in Japan for Shoplifters (2018), directed by Hirokazu Koreeda, an intimate drama about a warm family of impoverished shoplifters taking something they might not should have. We chat about what defines family, how seemingly small decisions can snowball, and the positivity of seeing meaningful father-figures in movies.
