The Happiness of the Katakuris

Mountains. Early spring. A shovel. The Katakuris open a guesthouse, but their first paying customer dies on the tatami. To protect their investment, the family buries the body. Another guest expires mid-coitus, then another, and soon the Katakuris have a landfill problem. Miike's horror-musical plays best after midnight.
