The Japanese filmmaker tweeted out an on-set photo, writing in caption: “One week left to shoot the new summer movie. I wonder.” Kore-eda returned to Cannes this year with “Broker,” which garnered mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. This was his first film at Cannes since his 2018 Palme d’Or winner “Shoplifters,” but it definitely wasn’t the breakout hit that film was. “Shoplifters” ended up grossing $3.3 million in the U.S, and $69.4 million abroad, for a worldwide total of $72.7 million (I’m sure its budget couldn’t have been more than a million dollars). Regardless, this was the “I told you so!” moment for Kore-eda’s fans, many of whom have been praising the 57-year-old director’s works since his 1995 breakthrough “Maborosi” Kore-eda is no spring chicken, he’s been in the game now for almost 30 years, releasing well-regarded films such as “After Life,” “Still Walking,” “Like Father Like Son” and “After the Storm,” but he never truly hit the big time until that surprise Palme d’Or win.
