Shoplifters: Screening with English Subtitles

Winner of the Palme d'Or for best feature at this year's Cannes Film Festival, Hirokazu Kore-eda's 'Shoplifters' is both celebrated and controversial. It focuses on a make-shift family, who take in a little girl one day, but also shines a spotlight on poverty in modern-day Japan. To make it more accessible to an international audience, Shinjuku's Wald 9 cinema will be hosting daily afternoon screenings with English subtitles from Saturday June 23 until Friday June 29 – check their website for exact dates and times (be sure to go for the 英語字幕 ones).
