AOI Pro. announced that Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda's feature film 'Shoplifters', co-financed and produced by AOI Pro., has won the Best Foreign Film Award at the 44th César Awards. This is the first time in 38 years for a Japanese film to win the award - since Akira Kurosawa's 'Kagemusha' also known as 'Shadow Warrior' in 1981. 'Shoplifters', which won a Palme d'Or at the 2018 Cannes International Film Festival, has been highly acclaimed in France and topped the box office in Paris in its first week. 

Hirokazu Kore-eda commented: "Palme d'Or was the starting point of this film. By getting to César, its journey is happily wrapped up.”
