If you loved Visitor Q, try The Happiness of the Katakuris

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Takashi Miike, and they both carry the pitch black, surreal, unhinged mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Visitor Q, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Happiness of the Katakuris is

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.
