	The Happiness of the Katakuris DVD review
		The Katakuris have decided abandon ordinary suburban life and run a country inn, but unfortunately have selected one so off the beaten track that it starts to look like no customers will come.
		Animating the Katakuris is a 5 and a half minute, 4:3 DV featurette looking at the creation of the animation sequences and is centred around Clay Animation Director Hideki Kimura, whose thoughts are delivered as scrolling text rather than voice over.
		Miike Takashi is without doubt Japan's most prolific director, with almost 50 films in 8 years, precious few of which make it to these shores, but on the evidence of those that do, he has to be classed as one of the most fascinating of modern Japanese filmmakers.

		The flowers that Omi hands to Michiru (and she hands to the guys at the end) is a katakuri.
		The real wildflower has a pinkish-purple nodding flower with reflexed petals and a protruding bunch of 'things' in the center (stamen and pistils -- think 'lily' here) with rounded, broad, speckled leaves that appear to be in a rosette around the base of the flower stems.
		I do not have a picture of a katakuri but here is someone who does.

		Each family member is treated warmly by the script and direction, and each go through changes as the film goes on, whether is finding redemption for oneself or realising the importance of family, each of them are lead to a greater peace which gives the film a sense of touching and good-natured intention towards them.

	Rotten Tomatoes Forums - Rate: Katakuri-ke no kôfuku (aka The Happiness of the Katakuris!)
		Though Miike's HotK is not for all tastes (and neither is any of his other films), it is a funny, ridiculous, and strange comedy musical that contains hints of a number of genres, mixed together until it is impossible to tell which one Miike is going to stick with.
		'Katakuris' is a remake of a 1998 Korean film called The Quiet Family (Choyonghan kajok), which is not a musical.
		My favorite dance number has to be the 'falling in love song' with the daughter character and the Navy guy.

		The Happiness of the Katakuris is nothing if not an inventive and entertaining little slice of cinema and believe me, the genre description of "musical/comedy/horror" is completely honest.
		It tells the story of the Katakuri family, which consists of a man and wife, their son and daughter, their daughter's daughter, grandpa and their dog, Pochi.
		While definitely not for everyone and certainly not for anyone without a sense of humor, I still think this was by far worth watching, once at the very least.

	Neil Young's Film Lounge
		Katakuris has been billed as a ‘horror musical’, but the horror is fairly incidental and low-key, and comparisons with Dawn of the Dead are misleading: zombies pop up only briefly in fantasy sequences.
		Scriptwriter Kikumi Yamaguishi pinches his basic plot from a little-seen 1998 dark comedy, The Quiet Family: the Katakuris are an irrepressibly optimistic bunch of city-dwellers who relocate to the remote countryside, where they open a hotel.
		Anyone who only knows Miike from such gruelling pictures may be amazed to hear that Katakuris is one of the most infectiously joyous and positive films imaginable — we’re thankfully a world away from the Disney vision of a ‘happy family,’ but the Katakuris’ bonds are surprisingly believable and touching.

	Monsters At Play: The Happiness of the Katakuris Review
		The Happiness of the Katakuris is perhaps the most bizarre and unique film yet created by prolific Japanese director Takashi Miike.
		I wasn't disappointed, as The Happiness of the Katakuris is a wild ride of thrills, spills, chills and kills.
		But as crazy and flamboyant as the film is, it still manages to craft a compelling tale of a family struggling to live under the same roof, so there is a genuine human element beneath the escalating madness.

		The Katakuri family has just opened their guesthouse in the mountains.
		Okay, so Miike's movies are always full of genre-busting surprises, and I should have known what to expect with 'The Happiness Of The Katakuris', but NOTHING could have prepared me for what a nutty movie experience this is! A feel-good cheesy musical full of claymation and some singing and dancing zombies?!!

	Monsters At Play: Happiness of the Katakuris Review
		From the unflinchingly brutal Ichi the Killer to the cliche-busting crime parody Dead or Alive, Miike's films are always possessed of a style and wit that immediately grab your attention and let you know that you won't be seeing the same old hum-drum bullshit.
		Happiness of the Katakuris is certainly one of his most unique endeavors to date, focusing on the inner workings of the family dynamic instead of the satirical violence of his earlier works.
		Happiness of the Katakuris follows the misadventures of the Katakuri family, as they struggle to make ends meet running their floundering guest house.

		The Katakuri family opened a peaceful mountain inn to taste the good life and bond as a family, but their guests keep dying and in order to keep their reputation they have no choice but to chop them up and bury them...bury them all!
		The Katakuris family have, each for slightly different reasons, bought into an isolated guesthouse in the mountains under the impression that new road construction will soon bring customers, success and ultimately happiness into their lives.
		Or at least their first guest is, after having suicided in a particularly nasty manner which happens to look not only deeply suspicious but is going to be really, really bad for business.
