The Katsuhito Ishii film captures the the Haruno family at a time where all its members are at the peak of their quirkiness. In fact calling them quirky is an understatement. Young Hajime (Takahiro Sato) is in grips of teenage love and angst. Adolescent Sachiko (Maya Banno) can't seem to get rid of her giant self that keeps watching over her. Mother Yoshiko (Satomi Tezuka) is trying to get her anime career back on track with help from crazy Grandpa (Tatsuya Gashuin) who is a master of strange poses. Uncle Tayano (Tadanobu Asano), a famous DJ and music mixer, wanders around lost in his own world. The slightly normal member seems to be the hypnotist father (Tomokazu Miura). A Japanese film which has a very Wes Anderson like feel to it.
