Taxing Woman

A Taxing Woman (Marusa no onna) (1987) Ryoko Itakura is a government tax agent who has just landed a big promotion. Her first assignment is to catch wheeler-dealer Hideki Gondo. She has a tough job, since in Japan tax evasion is an art and Gondo is, in effect, Rembrandt. Her job is complicated by a growing sympathy for the rogue and by political pressure to lay off. ??Reid GagleAwards: 23 wins & 5 nominationsJûzô ItamiNobuko Miyamoto, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Masahiko Tsugawa (Japan)tt0093502
