No matter how you try to describe The Happiness Of The Katakuris, it is simply one of those films you have to see for yourself. I can't think of a single movie that I could possibly compare it to.
You won't understand it, you won't make any sense of it, but you will love it.
The story starts as a the Katakuri family move into their house in the country. Led by the father of the family, they hope to make money by renting the house as a bed & breakfast for travellers who pass by.
As they get their first customer, disaster strikes as he commits suicide in his room. Cue the first of many bizarre musical numbers. Disturbed by this bad omen, the family decide not to inform the police and bury the corpse behind the house in order not to attract bad publicity. However, as the next customers arrive (a large sumo wrestler and his schoolgirl girlfriend), disaster strikes again.
A pattern emerges and the Katakuris face trial after trial of bizarre customers who seem to come to their b&b to die.
With some memorable musical numbers and a character who possibly one of the funniest characters in a movie to date (the con-man who is allegedly the nephew of Queen Elizabeth II).
This film may be a bit too bizarre and off-the-wall for some viewers, but if you are looking for one of the strangest movie experience you may ever see, The Happiness Of The Katakuris is the right choice for you.
