Intruders

A salaryman living alone in a small apartment is visited by complete strangers, a large family with grown-up sons and a daughter, who take over his apartment and his life. They use his money and he has to wait on them as their servant. They even steal his girlfriend. Although they behave very dictatorially, everything is decided "democratically" by the majority.

Directed by Yoshio Sekigawa, Junichiro Maeda, Ichiro Tsujimoto, Intruders leans on a strong ensemble — Akiji Kobayashi, Shigeru Mizota, Yoshiko Fujiyama — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1963.
