Eburi manshi no yûga na seikatsu

Is this film is the story of Eburi or his whole small family? What is the story? An ordinary life of Eburi?

It's a story in the style of a comedy. Since it's so subtle, you should really pay attention of how it's presented. The language barrier does not help either. Most of the duration of the film was told in narrative style. Eburi is a drinker. He would tell stories in drunken states. More than half of the times, the dialogs was not that interesting. It is also the fact that most of the dialogs was a narration. There are points to be made and slick styles in this film. I guess, to truly enjoy his narration, we should also be drinking. Otherwise you must accept the suspension of fun. I'm sure that if The Elegant Life of Mr. Everyman is a novella, it will be a fun read. Catch the irony?
