<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The 2018 Japanese film, (R) with subtitles, stars Lily Franky, Sakura Ando and Mayu Matsuoka. Director Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Cannes Palme d’Or winner for best film is a heartrending
glimpse into an often-invisible segment of Japanese society: those struggling to stay afloat in the face of crushing poverty. On the margins of Tokyo, a most unusual “family,” a collection of societal castoffs united by their shared outsider-hood and fierce
loyalty to one another, survives by petty stealing and grifting. When they welcome into their fold a young girl who has been abused by her parents, they risk exposing themselves to the authorities and upending their tenuous, below-the-radar existence. The
director’s latest masterful, richly observed human drama makes the quietly radical case that it is love, not blood that defines a family.
