Watch: 団地 2016 123movies, Full Movie Online – An elderly couple, Seiji and Hinako, have been married for a long time. Their son has died. They sell herbal medicine featuring a family recipe handed down for generations. When they move to a new home not only rumours are spread about them, but also strange characters enter and leave their residence. Then a surreal offer is made..
Plot: Whether it’s someone mixing burnables and recyclables or noise from a neighbor’s domestic spat, there’s always something occupying the residents of a housing project in the suburbs of Osaka. However Hinako (Naomi Fujiyama) and Seiji (Ittoku Kishibe) couldn’t care less. Having moved in just six months ago after the closure of their herbal medicine shop, the old couple is reluctantly putting their life back together. But when Seiji disappears, the apartment rumor mill churns: divorce, murder, dismemberment? As the story spins out of control, and a mysterious man with a parasol puts in a tall order of natural remedies, the truth turns out to be even more fantastic than gossip. Ranging from incisive comedy of errors to absurdist adventure to moving late life romance, “The Projects” is one of the biggest surprises of the year.

Orders of silliness
“Anything can happen in a housing project,” says a character during this movie, and so it seems to be the case in this absurd, light-weight, sort of black comedy. It’s about seniors, life before and after death, bored housing-block residents inventing rumors and then striving mightily to make them a reality (bringing in the local police to investigate the nonsense), and (yup!) space aliens. A highly repetitious mixture of attempted amusement that grows stale super fast. What might have maybe worked as, say, a 15-20 minute short film, self destructs when stretched to over 90 minutes. Although the moon is not made of cheese, the spaceship and other “special effects” in this film are most definitely full of it. Viewed at Japan Society (NY) Flash Forward Film Event.
