Britain's What's On Event Guide
Stafford Film Theatre: Broker
BROKER
Hikrokazu Kore-eda/ S Korea 2022 / 129 min / 12A / Subtitles
Broker is Japanese director Kore-eda's (Shoplifters) first Korean production with Song Kang-Ho (Palme d'Or 2022) giving a stellar performance in the lead role. In Kore-eda's capable hands this film, about some misfits who make up a family of sorts, turns into a delightful, bittersweet drama - handling tough subjects with a light touch. Whatever their reasons, they are involved in finding the best possible adoptive families for orphaned or abandoned babies, at a price of course, while being pursued by some fanatic cops. Broker keeps on getting funnier and knottier as secret motives are revealed, sympathies shift, mysteries deepen and dangers multiply, Nicholas Barber, (BBC) giving it a 5* rating.
