“A family portrait as painted by a moderately demented Cubist.”
—The New York Times
“A messy, heartfelt entanglement of tangential indulgences into the wild eccentricities of human behavior.”
—Slant
“While there are multiple characters and all manner of oddball excursions, everything is anchored in a gentle, affectionate view of a household whose members are ever so slowly finding themselves. The tea that everybody drinks is warm and restorative, and so is Ishii’s strange, sentimental film.”
—Little White Lies
This family is nothing like yours — they’re better. An eccentric artist mom, a hypnotherapist dad, a son with dating hangups, a daughter facing off with her doppelgänger, and an uncle haunted by the past. Giants, musical numbers, and an endless supply of whimsy (a train through the head, anyone?), it’s — as one character puts it — “weird but cool.” Starring Tadanobu Asano (ICHI THE KILLER) and Tomokazu Miura (TYPHOON CLUB, SMALL, SLOW BUT STEADY) with appearances by Hideaki Anno (EVANGELION, LOVE & POP), Anna Tsuchiya (KAMIKAZE GIRLS), and more. Newly Remastered.
