If you loved The Last Dance, try A Taxing Woman's Return
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 sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Last Dance, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What A Taxing Woman's Return is
Shinjuku at dusk—coffee steams over tax ledgers open on a corner desk. Ryōko Itakura tracks laundered yen into a cult’s temple gardens; gold beneath the soil, hymns over ledgers. Like The Trial meets It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad World under neon suns.
