Oishii Kazoku (2019)

Funny.

I had expected a somewhat blander queer film in advance, but these are usually films that are handled rather carefully, especially when they are comedies. It is not the case that Fukuda jumps in with both legs straight, but there is also some laughter at the expense of some queer issues.

The heart of the film is clearly in the right place and a number of exaggerations or bold exaggerations (Itao, in terms of appearance to a colorless Japanese business man, who walks around in floral dresses, is a very deliberate casting) also seem deliberately to undermine the bottom line of the film. to be further emphasized. But forewarned again, people who are easily triggered by these kinds of things might get irritated every now and then.

Furthermore, visually very neat (partly thanks to the beautiful location, but the cinematography half is also really nice. The soundtrack is functional (to clarify that it is really a comedy). The humor is fairly dry, a bit crazy, the actors are also Perfectly cast. Great film, I didn't expect much from it, but I was very pleased with it.
