Abnormal Family
ComedyDrama63 min
A newly married woman finds herself pulled into the fraught rhythms of her husband’s family, where the closest ties in the house are also the most unsettling. Usagi Aso leads as the bride at the center of the household, while her husband drifts into an affair with a dominatrix and an obsession with S&M that leaves the marriage off balance. As she adjusts to life with his relatives, her connection to her younger brother-in-law and father-in-law grows increasingly complicated. Directed by Masayuki Suo, the film turns a domestic setup into something awkward, intimate, and sharply off-kilter.
