Six queer adolescents keeping house together; a couple of left-wing anarchists committed to raising their children “off the grid”; a makeshift Tokyo family who make a living from petty theft; a lesbian couple raising two teenagers together who become entangled with the kids’ anonymous sperm donor… These, and others, are the subjects of the films in Modern Families, a collection of films that, in the words of Shoplifters director Hirokazu Kore-eda, “explore what makes a family,” and explore the peculiarities, hurdles, and rewards that come along with a diversity of household setups, based on blood ties or otherwise.
