For this round we have chosen The Happiness of the Katakuris (カ タ ク リ 家 の 幸福, Katakuri-ke no Kōfuku) a 2001 Japanese musical comedy horror film directed by Takashi Miike, with screenplay by Kikumi Yamagishi. A a surreal horror-comedy in the farce tradition featuring The Katakuris: four-generation family of failures: a patriarch Masao Katakuri (Kenji Sawada), his wife Terue (Keiko Matsuzaka), his father Jinpei (Tetsurō Tamba), his formerly criminal son Masayuki (Shinji Takeda), his divorced daughter Shizue (Naomi Nishida), her child Yurie (Tamaki Miyazaki, who narrates the film), and their dog, Pochi. The family uses the father’s redundancy pay to purchase a large old home with the intention of converting it into a bed and breakfast, but things go terribly wrong.
