Poverty and lack of love makes a perfect family that even blood relations fail. That's the long story short of ‘Shoplifters’.
With the inefficiencies being reasoned like, Shota saying ‘Only those who cannot learn in home go to schools’ immediately wins our sympathy.
Poor women who have children being called call girls shows how society has even made family a luxury.
Biology doesn't wait for economics, is a strong theory used here to propound how depressing poverty could be. Shota coming of age, Shota’s dad and mom making love, making theost of the dingy space which they call house.
What is life when you cannot even mourn your heart out for a dear one's demise? Kore-Eda Hirokazu registers this painful truth in his scenes where even health care and funeral rites are luxurious.
Money and respect are twins that comes together or doesn't come at all. An abusive mother is still a mother and a call girl with motherly love is still a call girl.
An emphatic statement the director puts across is the pathetic truth that a bonding that is outside the Socio-economic structure is bound to fail.
In a nutshell, Shoplifters is a movie that exposes the false societal notion of material safety being considered a secured life.
