If you loved Woman in Witness Protection, try El regreso de la inspectora
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Jūzō Itami, and they both carry the outsider, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Woman in Witness Protection, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What El regreso de la inspectora 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.
