Family. by Takashi Miike? Cheap R2 Japan DVD. Trailer Online.

I know that recently it was announced that "Family" and its sequel will be released in the UK this Summer time, and that will certainly contain subtitles, but it's worth noting theres a cheap (1800 yen) DVD coming soon in Japan. Why? Well, chances are it will not contain subs, but at least it's a hint there will be a good source on which to base the UK disc, which potentially dispells some fears at least.

Also, looking around i have managed to find a streaming trailer for the release at an "upcoming titles" page on a Japanese site. Look for the cover I have show here on this page. It's a good chance to geta taster of the film, and will be the first look at one of the half-dozen or so films Miike made in 2001.

I don't think this is Miike's "Family." It appears to be the film "Ryozanpaku Family" (梁山泊　ファミリー) directed by Shingo Yamashiro (山城新伍).

I concur with Brian: M3 Entertainment et al. are releasing Shingo Yamashiro's Ryôzanpaku famirî, not Takashi Miike's Family (Famirî), on DVD on March 24.

BTW, Miike didn't direct a sequel to Family; rather, the 111-minute theatrical release of that movie was split into two VHS releases (running times: 78 and 80 minutes, respectively), which contained some additional footage.
