If you loved Minbo, or The Gentle Art of Japanese Extortion, try A Taxing Woman
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Jūzō Itami, and they both carry the outsider, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to Minbo, or The Gentle Art of Japanese Extortion, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
