Funuke Show Some Love, You Losers! (Funuke Domo, Kanashimi No Ai Wo Misero)


January 29, 2008 MARRAKECH, Morocco -- "Funuke Show Some Love, You Losers" ("Funuke Domo, Kanashimi No Ai Wo Misero"), black comedies about dysfunctional families based on a novel by Yukiko Motoya, has a talented cast yet looks like a television soap. Maybe that is what director Daihachi Yoshida wanted to attract younger audiences, women in particular. Yoshida packs dark humor in his narrative, much of it comes from Sumika (Eriko Sato), a failed actress who returns from Tokyo to her rural home when her parents die in a accident trying to save a black cat sitting in the middle of a road.
