What they share

What Funuke: Show Some Love, You Losers! is
Kurosawa's *The Bad Sleep Well* without the suits. The Wago family gathers after their parents' death, but old resentments quickly turn the proceedings farcical and violent. Hiromi Nagasaku's performance ensures the dark material never quite veers into nihilism.
