The Light in the Hall

Shoplifters (Hirokazu Kore-eda, 2018), 2.20am, Channel 4
The poet laureate of the unconventional family, Hirokazu Kore-eda brings his compassionate gaze to bear on another atypical household. Lily Franky twinkles as Osamu, an amiable Fagin-like father figure to a boy, Shota (Kairi Jyo), whom he has trained in the art of shoplifting. One cold night they come upon a neglected five-year-old girl, Yuri (Miyu Sasaki), and take her back to the cramped home they share with Osamu’s partner Nobuyo, the old widow who owns it, and another younger woman. As Yuri is drawn into their precarious lives, questions about Osamu and Nobuyo’s motives and history – and what constitutes the ideal family – filter through this touching drama. Simon Wardell
