APAC Movie Screening

Welcome to APAC's latest movie screening! This time we will enjoy a Japanese comedy Hospitalite together. This film was nominated as the Best Film at Tokyo International Film Festival in 2010.

MOVIE DESCRIPTION
Mikio Kobayashi lives quietly with his wife, daughter, and divorced sister in downtown Tokyo, where xenophobic neighbors insist they participate in community meetings, and the most exciting thing to happen is the disappearance of a pet parrot. Then one day, Kagawa appears, claiming to be the son of a financier who once helped Kobayashi's company. In return for his family's past help, Kagawa requests to move in. Kobayashi's quiet lifestyle is quickly forgotten when Kagawa invites his Brazilian (or is she Bosnian?) wife and a myriad of eclectic and foreign visitors to join him in the cramped apartment. The Kobayashis are tossed about in comic confusion as Kagawa and his associates run amok in their home. Kagawa, with the help of his visitors, manages to reveal old secrets and stir up the monotony of Mikio's former life with affairs, blackmail, and rampant youthful partying. Also released as Kantai.
