A spell of time in the life of a family in rural Tochigi prefecture. Yoshiko is not an ordinary housewife, instead working on an animated film project. Uncle Ayano, a successful music producer, is looking to get his head together after living in Tokyo. Meanwhile, Sachiko is concerned with why she seems to be followed by a giant version of herself. As the lazy days pass by, each member of the family is followed in a series of episodic vignettes.

This will not appeal to everyone’s tastes even those who generally appreciate Japanese film. And it’s not the easiest film to describe (like trying to describe Survive Style 5+) but I liked the atypical structure and surreal aspects as well as Tadanobu Asano’s supporting role, natch. Tatsuya Gashuin again steals every scene he’s in with one comedic moment after another. Definitely weird definitely unique. Wish Anna Tsuchiya was given more to do here.
