Happiness Avenue (1986): cast, story & where to watch
1986 · Film
Released in 1986, Happiness Avenue is a notable film directed by Katsuyuki Hirano.
What it’s about. When Otomo Katsuhiro saw his manga Good Weather credited as the “original novel” he burst out laughing. There’s not an iota of his book anywhere in the film. Made in the same year as Sono Sion’s A Man’s Flower Road, Hirano Katsuyuki’s Happiness Avenue (where Sono plays a role) is madder and more abandoned, in both filmmaking and content. Lovelorn Masahiro goes on an odyssey to find fulfilment of his heart’s desire, and the sea he traverses are Tokyo’s open sewages.
Who’s in it. Happiness Avenue stars Masahiro Sugiyama and Sion Sono.
