Happiness of the Katakuris - Movie
[Edit Info]
 
The Katakuris are a four-generation family of failures (grandfather, father and mother, children and granddaughter the narrator) who use the father's redundancy pay to buy a guest house in the country.

Somehow, each of their guests ends up dead—by suicide, accident or murder—and once they have made the decision to save their business by burying the bodies and concealing the deaths, they find themselves sucked into a nightmare of lies and fear (not helped by the arrival of the daughter's con-man boyfriend, an escaped murderer with police in hot pursuit, and an erupting volcano).

    This is one of my favorite movies of all time - ran into it by coincidence in 2003 & have been telling ppl abt it ever since. I think it's great fun. Some ppl hate it & get angry but you have to be blind not to know it's going to be strange

    Excellent, better than The Quiet Family, but that's probably bias of me because Takashi Miike is one of my favourite filmmakers.

    absolutely fantastic. just watched & it 's a musical black comedy with enough character developement to make you empathize with the actors & the crazy situations. Not something I would have thought even sanely possible...

    miike is brilliant, and this is his happiest film. don't look for logic here- this is supposed to be a fun, zany ride. for a remake, it has a lot of originality.
