Journey to Japan and into the heart of human connection with Searchlight Pictures’ Rental Family, arriving on 16th March on DVD and Blu-ray™!

Set in modern-day Tokyo, HIKARI's Rental Family stars Academy Award®–winning Brendan Fraser as a has-been American actor searching for purpose and belonging in a society where he feels increasingly adrift. An unexpected acting call leads him to a “rental family” agency, where he is hired to play stand-in roles for strangers seeking connection. As performance begins to blur with reality, the immersive role-playing awakens his humanity and compassion, drawing him deeply into his clients’ lives and pushing him off-script whenever his empathetic heart takes over.

Searchlight’s Rental Family channels the emotional depth of award-winning director, producer, and co-writer HIKARI (Beef, Tokyo Vice, 37 Seconds), who believes cinema “allows us to view others with empathy, creates space for conversation, and see parts of ourselves we did not know existed.”

The Blu-ray™ includes a host of bonus supplements including a behind-the-scenes feature with Brendan Fraser and director HIKARI as they explore friendship, culture, found family, and filming in Japan in this intimate look at the making of the film, plus deleted and extended scenes.

To celebrate the release of Searchlight Pictures’ Rental Family on DVD and Blu-ray™ we’re giving away a copy of the Blu-ray™ to three winners.
