The Taste of Tea

A family drama, and a bit of a dress rehearsal for Funky Forest (including as actors Guitar Brother and one of the duo of galactic comedians). Character-driven surrealism culminating in a sunflower supernova.

The inimitable Yamada from Sharkskin Man, Peach Hip Girl provides another memorable performance here as the eccentric grandfather who drives everyone else's success -- including the production what may be the most irritating, and at the same time most catchy, pop songs to be featured in a film.
