TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The original title of the film, Manbiki Kazoku, literally translates as Shoplifting Family.

First Japanese movie to win the Palme d'Or since The Eel (1997) in 1997.

Director Hirokazu Koreeda said that he developed the story for Shoplifters when considering his earlier film Like Father, Like Son (2013), with the question "what makes a family"? He had been considering a film exploring this question for years before making Shoplifters. Koreeda described it as his "socially conscious" film. With this story, Koreeda said he did not want the perspective to be from only a few individual characters, but to capture "the family within the society", a "wide point of view" in the vein of his 2004 film Nobody Knows (2004). He set his story in Tokyo and was also influenced by the Japanese Recession, including media reports of how people lived in poverty and of shoplifting.

To research the project, Hirokazu Koreeda toured an orphanage and wrote a scene inspired by a girl there who read from Swimmy by Leo Lionni.

Nobuyo wears a shirt with a Martin Luther King Jr. quotation: "Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. "

Popular Dialogues

"Nobuyo Shibata: If someone hits you and tells you they are doing it because they love you, they are a liar. [Hugging Yuri] Nobuyo Shibata: This is what someone does when they love you."

"Hatsue Shibata: I was sure she'd want to go home. Nobuyo Shibata: Do you think she... chose us? Hatsue Shibata: Usually you can't choose your own parents. Nobuyo Shibata: But then, maybe it's stronger when you choose them yourself. Hatsue Shibata: What is? Nobuyo Shibata: What is... [pause] Nobuyo Shibata: The bond. The bond. [pause] Hatsue Shibata: I chose you, too."
