Broker

Broker
Director:Hirokazu Koreeda
Cert:12A Year: 2022 Length:129mins
Country:South Korea
KFF has screened just about every Kore-eda film and this modern morality tale is another absolute joy.

The film follows two brokers (one of whom is played by Parasite's Song Kang-ho) who sell orphaned infants, circumventing the bureaucracy of legal adoption, to affluent couples who can't have children of their own. After an infant's mother surprises the duo by returning to ensure her child finds a good home, the three embark on a journey to find the right couple, building an unlikely family of their own.

Critics

“Bittersweet and beautiful, Broker sits easily amongst Kore-eda’s finest films, and as one of the best filmmakers working today that is surely saying something. ”

Awfj Women On Film

“What could have been a train wreck if it were an American comedy/drama turns into a funny, sad, brittle, beautiful and absolutely strange odyssey wherein the image of family gets distorted and reimagined in the most touching way imaginable.”
