Discotek Media has revealed that it is preparing a Blu-ray release of Takashi Miike's
The Happiness of the Katakuris (2001), starring Naomi Nishida, Kenji Sawada, Keiko Matsuzaka, Shinji Takeda, and Kiyoshirô Imawano. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year.
The story of a modern dysfunctional family and their shared dream of opening an inn in the country. Despite all their best efforts, the inn has the unfortunate habit of attracting guests who all turn up dead in the morning. The Katakuris do their utmost to make a success of the place despite the growing number of guests now planted in the grove behind the house. In an incredible subplot, a Japanese conman claims to be the bastard son of Queen Elizabeth of England.
