In Japanese with English subtitles

“A family composition, contained within squares and lines. And there’s the girl.  They’ve stolen her. Why?  Isn’t that a crime? The whole film is like a reverse angle.  It looks at family in a way that’s the reverse of what we’d expect.   We learn that a lot is not what it seems in this cozy-looking family home. We’re looking at the heart of something, a film with a heart, a family with a strong identity, but an identity based on stealing, on crime.  A family imagined, a story of identity told.” – Mark Cousins
