Focus on Cannes Film Festival 2018 (2018x7)

Yayınlanma tarihi: Tem 07, 2018

Presented in competition at this year's 71st edition of the Cannes Film Festival, Shoplifters by Hirokazu Kore-eda received the Palme d'Or. This marks the first time in 21 years that a Japanese director is given the top prize since Shohei Imamura's Unagi got the award in 1997. Mainly focusing on Kore-eda's award-winning film, we also look at another competition entry at the festival, Ryusuke Hamaguchi's Asako I & II. Finally, we introduce Vision, the latest film directed by Naomi Kawase, also a regular at Cannes.
