Shopping (2013)

Living in New Zealand in 1981 amid high racial tension, Willie, a half-Samoan teenager, is coming into his own. With an unpredictable father, Willie spends most of his time working at a department store or taking care of his little brother, Solomon. A chance encounter at work with an eccentric and charming “shopper” named Bennie lures Willie into a world without rules. As Willie begins to find a place in Bennie’s reckless nest of criminals, Solomon grows increasingly vulnerable to their father’s violent tendencies.

Shopping is a 2013 New Zealand coming-of-age film written and directed by Mark Albiston and Louis Sutherland. Set in the Kāpiti Coast of Northern Wellington in 1981, it stars Kevin Paulo as a mixed race Samoan New Zealander who falls in with a group of shoplifters, led by an Eastern-European immigrant played by Jacek Koman. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2013 and was released in New Zealand on 30 May 2013.

Production

The film was inspired by real life events for writer-directors Albiston and Sutherland, who grew up together. It is their feature film debut, after having collaborated in short films. Shopping followed Boy, another New Zealand coming-of-age film about a boy of Polynesian descent, but Albiston said Boy was more of an inspiration in that it showed there was a market for such stories than creatively.
