Best known for his dark splatterfests (AUDITION, ICHI THE KILLER), director Takeshi Miike takes a detour from his usual style with HAPPINESS OF THE KATAKURIS. After losing his job...
more...at a department store, patriarch Masao (Kenji Sawada) has opened a country inn at which the whole family can work. The trouble is, whenever someone checks in, they seem to die before checking out! The inn spells a different adventure for each member of the family, and Miike somehow finds the ability to work in some surreal clay animation along with several elaborate karaoke-style musical numbers.

A Japanese Zombie Musical?
Review of The Happiness Of The Katakuris (DVD) by Vyse

Advantages: Hilarious characters, great musical numbers
Disadvantages: May be too bizarre for some more reserved movie fans

...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.
