House of Sayuri
A film by Koji Shiraishi
Japão, 2024, 108'
European Premiere
The Kamiki family has finally moved into the house of their dreams. A garden, a long dining table, and a privileged view of the starry sky. There they will be able to enjoy each other’s company, but also the peace and quiet of their own space. However, before the seven of them can prepare to write this new chapter, something begins to disturb their safety: Sayuri, the spirit who inhabits the darkest corners of the house, won’t rest until she vindicates her terrible end. When, one by one, the Kamikis suffer unexplained incidents, Norio finds in his grandmother an unlikely guardian who hatches a plan for them to defeat Sayuri together. This new film by Koji Shiraishi – director of the previously screened MOTELX films "A Beast in Love" and "Sadako vs. Kayako" is an adaptation of R. Oshikiri’s legendary comic strip, in which the supernatural is transformed into comedy, death into life, and grandma’s food into cold revenge served up in a blow of tai-chi.
