Shoplifters

121 min | NR
Released 2018
Japan – English subtitles

Shoplifters is a multilayered discussion of poverty and survival. On the margins of Tokyo, a dysfunctional band of outsiders is united by fierce loyalty and a penchant for petty theft. When the young son is arrested, secrets are exposed that upend their tenuous, below-the-radar existence. The film is contemplative and loud as it explores these complex characters and their relationships.

The Kentlands Film Society was established under the Kentlands Community Foundation in 2006 with the goal of bringing high quality, independent films to residents of the greater Kentlands/Lakelands community. This mission has been carried out over each of the last 15 years with the showing of almost 70 films to a collective audience of approximately 5,500 attendees.

All films will be shown at the Gaithersburg Arts Barn, 311 Kent Square Road, Gaithersburg, MD 20878. Doors open at 6:15 p.m. and films start at 7:00 p.m.

The Kentlands Film Society is currently hosting its 16th five-film season at the Arts Barn from September 2022 through May 2023. Subscription sales are closed, but you may still purchase individual tickets for each of the remaining films of the season. To purchase individual tickets, please go to Kentlands Film Society Individual Ticket Purchases.
