Ushijima the Loan Shark

The Devil’s Advocate meets Salaryman noir. A woman inherits her mother’s debt and starts working at a hostess café to pay it off, while a slick young executive borrows big from the same loan shark to fund his corporate climb. Takayuki Yamada plays cold calculation in a suit, 2012’s answer to capitalist hunger with no moral off-ramp.
