The Inugami Family (Japan, 1976)

When a tycoon passes away, he unexpectedly leaves the family fortune to outsider Tamayo on the condition that she marries one of the grandsons, pitting blood against blood.

Directed by Kon Ichikawa, The Inugami Family shows the greed and deceit inside an old and wealthy family. During an inheritance dispute people suddenly starts to die, and a bizarre murder case takes the center stage while family members circle like vultures around the old man's money. It's both dark and quirky, a balance which Ichikawa manages perfectly. 



Genre: Drama/Mystery. 2h 26min.
