By   |  Apr 9, 2024

The Nickel will be screening the 40th Anniversary restoration of Gakuryu Ishii’s 1984 Japanese comedy-drama ‘The Crazy Family’ (逆噴射家族) at The Cinema Museum in London on April 25, 2024.

The film revolves around a family who move into a new house and find themselves acting crazier and crazier. The cast includes Katsuya Kobayashi, Mitsuko Baisho, Yoshiki Arizono, Yuki Kudo, and Hitoshi Ueki.

Synopsis: The Kobayashi family finally are able to move out of their tiny, cramped Tokyo apartment to the suburban house of their dreams. But things are not as perfect as they seem: the house is infested by termites and the family starts going crazy. As the Kobayashis’ house begins to crumble, so does the sanity of its inhabitants. Father Katsuhiko takes it upon himself to keep them from the asylum…at any cost.
