FUNUKE SHOW SOME LOVE, YOU LOSERS! [Funuke domo, kanashimi no ai wo misero] - Dir. Daihachi Yoshida (2009)
Decided on a spur of the moment to re-watch this again & it brought back all the emotions from my first viewing. I absolutely love this dark comedy about a dysfunctional family unit brought together in their rural farm hometown by the loss of their parents in a freak (very gory) road accident. Yoshida in his debut film, utilizes the perfect blend of light hearted comedy & a really twisted sense of black humor to carry this film to its surprise climax. There are many standout performances in this film but special mention has to be made of Hiromi Nagasaku who plays the the outwardly cheery but emotionally battered wife -- she is just wonderful and one just aches to see more of her onscreen.
