Just a quick note to say I finally saw Shoplifters.... and I have no idea what to think. There was just too much info to absorb, I will have to watch it a second time. I wasn't sure about my value judgements, I kept asking what is right or wrong and should I really compare my values relative to theirs, all the while trying to read subtitles and trying to make sense of the whole thing. I just got lost. A good film, Koreeda at his best questioning societal values with a delicate touch but I wasn't quick enough to catch it all on the first stroke.
