In this episode of the Curzon Film Podcast we look at one of the most universally acclaimed films of the year, Hirokazu Kore-eda's Shoplifters), and one of the most controversial, Sam Levinson's Assassination Nation).
Twenty years in to a directing career focused on quietly devastating family dramas, Kore-eda hits a high water mark with the Palme d’Or winning Shoplifters) - the story of a ramshackle, puzzle piece family surviving through petty crime, who take an abandoned young girl in to their home.
What if everyone’s online life were exposed? As it turns out: sheer, bloody anarchy, all led by four teenage feminists. The Purge jumps into a blender with Mean Girls in *Assassination Nation *)a this story of youth gone wild in Salem, USA.
Discussing the films this week are Kelly Powell, Kambole Campbell, Steven Ryder and Jake Cunningham
