 Category : EntertainmentWhat A Wonderful Family! 1-3 Boxset (Blu-ray) (English Subtitled) (Hong Kong Version)Price: USD38.99 From 1969 to 1995, Yamada Yoji directed an iconic series of films titled Otoko wa Tsurai yo (a.k.a. It's Tough Being a Man ) about a traveling salesman and his never-ending difficulties with love. The director shows that relationships don't get any easier with time in his What a Wonderful Family! series. Yamada reunites the cast of Tokyo Family including Hashizume Isao, Yoshiyuki Kazuko, Tsumabuki Satoshi, Aoi Yu, Nishimura Masahiko, Natsukawa Yui, Hayashiya Shozo and Nakajima Tomoko for an astute, good-humored look into the dynamics of the modern family. What A Wonderful Family! (2016) Married for 50 years, Shuzo (Hashizume Isao) and Tomiko (Yoshiyuki Kazuko) live with their sons Konosuke (Nishimura Masahiko) and Shota (Tsumabuki Satoshi) as well as their daughter-in-law (Natsukawa Yui) and their grandchildren. With so many people under one roof, the house is constantly bustling with bicker and banter. On Tomiko's latest birthday, which Shuzo has as usual forgotten, she calmly asks him for a present: divorce. What A Wonderful Family! 2 (2017) Yamada Yoji returns to the domestic troubles and hijinks of the Hirata family in the sequel to his 2016 family comedy-drama. The original cast reprises for the warmly familiar second film set a few years after its predecessor. Shuzo (Hashizume Isao) enjoys driving, but his family becomes concerned when they notice the dents on his car. For his safety, they want him to give up his driver's license, and he naturally refuses. His family scrambles for a plan, but who can stand up to the stubborn old man? What a Wonderful Family! 3 (2018) The third installment of Yamada Yoji's humorous and relatable comedy-drama film series shines a light on the important, underappreciated role of Natsukawa Yui's Fumie, the wife of oldest son Konosuke (Nishimura Masahiko) and mother of two. One day, Fumie's secret savings stash hidden behind the refrigerator gets stolen by a thief. When Konosuke learns about this, he makes an insensitive comment about her saving up the money he earned. His careless words are the last straw for Fumie, who has accumulated many grievances over time, and she leaves home. Without Fumie taking care of the housework and holding down the fort, the multi-generation household soon falls into chaos and disarray!Other products from YesAsia |
