Picked by: Tyler, Projectionist

For fans of: Surreal and zany dark films, House (1977), Japanese films, musicals 

A family moves to the country to run a rustic mountain inn when, to their horror, the customers begin befalling sudden and unlikely fates.

Tyler says: A zombie horror flick. A stop-motion animated romp. A melodramatic tearjerker. A political satire.  A musical parody. A feel-good family comedy. A whirlwind romance. A karaoke singalong. The genre-bending endlessly fun Happiness of the Katakuris is all these things and more!

1 hour 53 mins | Comedy/Fantasy/Musical/Horror | 2001 | Japan | Japanese with English subtitles
Rated R

Directed by Takashi Miike

STAFF PICKS

The Little’s Staff Picks series is a grab bag of the mysterious, the fun, and the purely awesome. Each staff member has selected a movie to recommend — no genre or era is off limits. This series is the modern equivalent of stepping into your favorite video rental store, and seeking a film you’ll swoon over. These are favorites from our Little staff, but hopefully they’ll become your new favorites as well. Read more
